The Hopedale Collection of Hymns and Songs

The hymnbook of the Hopedale Community: hymns and songs 'for the use of practical Christians,' compiled by Adin Ballou for his experiment in Christian socialism and printed on the community's own press. Temperance, nonresistance, abolition, and universal restoration all sing together here — the worship book of the most radical household in the Universalist family, whose founder's autobiography is also in this collection.
