Favorite Hym
Still The OH
Rugged Cross
"The Oid Rugged Cross" still is
America's favoriate hymn. Bill Mc-
Vey. the Christian Herald Singer,
said today, citing reports by an
independent research organization
that has taken issue with a Naz-
arene statement that "How Great
Thcu Art" had become the lead-
ing religious song.
But McVey. wno recently con-
duett.1 a nationwide poll of more
than 30,000 churchgeers, praised
the Church of the Nazarene for
surveying its' membefrs' prefer-
ences.
"The Church of the Nazarene,
which has its largest membership
in the mid-West and South, has
taken tne lead among American
denominations is asking its mem-
bers which hymns and gospel songs
they want to sing instead of arbi-
trarily selecting inspirational mu-
sic." McVey said.
McVey quoted a study by •Ai.l-
ience Analysts, Bala-Cynwyd, Pa.,
that said the largest preference
poll to date of America's favorite
hymns was Christian Herald Maga-
zines coast to coast survey in
wbieh 13.5 per cent of more than
30.000 "respondents named '"The
C!d Rugged Cross" as the dearest
ar.t best.
The poll by the nation's largest
interdenominational P r o t estant
magazine showed a tally of only
8.1 per cent, fourth plaee. for "How
Great Thou Art," Audience Anal
ysts said.
