From the liner notes of the album cover.
Music is universally practiced and appreciated. Its influence upon the emotions of man is well known to all. It fosters in the heart a desire for nobler achievement and promotes in the soul a desire for worship.
Each Sunday morning the members of the congregation of the Bethany First Church experience this emotional response to music as our organist, Mrs. Ruth Taylor, and our pianist, Mr. David Uerkvitz, play the offertory. Both of these line musicians are professors in the Fine Arts Department of Bethany Nazarene College.
In response to many requests, they have consented to record several of these offertories which they have arranged and adopted for this special purpose.
The record is appropriately entitled, "Into His Gates" These hymns will accomplish the main purpose of religious music, which is
to bring a man out of himself into the presence of God, thus enabling man to "Enter into His Gores with Thanksgiving and into
His Courts with Praise"
I heartily recommend this record to all lovers of lovely music, with the sincere prayer that the life of every listener will be brought into harmony with the will of God

Bethany First Church of the Nazarene
