Edmund S. Lorenz
1854 - 1942 Person Name: E. Lorenz Author of "Kommet her zu mir" in Pilger Lieder Pseudonymns: John D. Cresswell, L. S. Edwards, E. D. Mund,
====================
Lorenz, Edmund Simon. (North Lawrence, Stark County, Ohio, July 13, 1854--July 10, 1942, Dayton, Ohio). Son of Edward Lorenz, a German-born shoemaker who turned preacher, served German immigrants in northwestern Ohio, and was editor of the church paper, Froehliche Botschafter, 1894-1900.
Edmund graduated from Toledo High School in 1870, taught German, and was made a school principal at a salary of $20 per week. At age 19, he moved to Dayton to become the music editor for the United Brethren Publishing House. He graduated from Otterbein College (B.A.) in 1880, studied at Union Biblical Seminary, 1878-1881, then went to Yale Divinity School where he graduated (B.D.) in 1883. He then spent a year studying theology in Leipzig, Germany.
He was ordained by the Miami [Ohio] Conference of the United Brethren in Christ in 1877. The following year, he married Florence Kumler, with whom he had five children. Upon his return to the United States, he served as pastor of the High Street United Brethren Church in Dayton, 1884-1886, and then as president of Lebanon Valley College, 1887-1889.
Ill health led him to resign his presidency. In 1890 he founded the Lorenz Publishing Company of Dayton, to which he devoted the remainder of his life. For their catalog, he wrote hymns, and composed many gospel songs, anthems, and cantatas, occasionally using pseudonyms such as E.D. Mund, Anna Chichester, and G.M. Dodge. He edited three of the Lorenz choir magazines, The Choir Leader, The Choir Herald, and Kirchenchor. Prominent among the many song-books and hymnals which he compiled and edited were those for his church: Hymns for the Sanctuary and Social Worship (1874), Pilgerlieder (1878), Songs of Grace (1879), The Otterbein Hymnal (1890), and The Church Hymnal (1934).
For pastors and church musicians, he wrote several books stressing hymnody: Practical Church Music (1909), Church Music (1923), Music in Work and Worship (1925), and The Singing Church (1938). In 1936, Otterbein College awarded him the honorary D.Mus. degree and Lebanon Valley College the honorary LL.D. degree.

William Bentley
1759 - 1819 Person Name: Wm. H. Bentley Composer of "[Hear the gentle Shepherd]" in Joyful Songs William Bentley (June 22, 1759, Boston, Massachusetts – December 29, 1819, Salem, Massachusetts) was minister, scholar, columnist, and diarist. His ancestors were early Puritan settlers to New England. He lived with his grandfather, William Paine, a well-to-do landowner, who sent him to North Writing School at the age of six, where he studied Latin and Greek. At the age of fourteen, his grandfather enrolled him in Harvard University. After graduating, he taught at Boston Latin School North Writing School, and then became a Greek and Latin tutor at Harvard University while attending graduate classes in theology. He was one of the first New England minister to profess unitarian beliefs and was a close friend of James Freeman, the first minister in the United States to call himself a Unitarian. In 1783 he was invited to be a candidate for assistant minister at Second Congregational(East) Church in Salem, Massachusetts, where he served until his death. The senior minister was James Diman, a Calvinist, who opposed Bentley's appointment; Diman allowed him to preach but not to administer the sacraments. The congregation, however, preferred Bentley's more liberal views. He prized morality and good works over Calvinist grace and faith. He wrote twice-weekly columns for the Salem newspapers summarizing foreign and domestic news. He owned a very large library, second only to Thomas Jefferson's, and kept a diary all of his life.
