Candler?

Is Candler the tune to The Banks O' Doon? This site seems to claim that it is. If it is, then someone (perhaps someone Scottish?) could/should add a link to The Banks O' Doon on the article page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:37BB:C490:BDB5:DF9A:E458:C4AD (talk) 06:17, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

... that Isaac Watts, the "father of English hymnody", described one of Charles Wesley's hymns as "worth all the verses he himself had written"?

Source: The entry in the Canterbury Dictionary of Hymnology: "Almost all commentators quote from John Wesley’s obituary of his brother at the Methodist Conference of 1788: ‘His least praise was his talent for poetry: although Dr Watts did not scruple to say, that “that single poem, Wrestling Jacob, was worth all the verses he himself had written”.’"

Article is long enough and new enough. Earwig shows high percentage, but it's either the long names or the quote, that's properly attributed in text, so should be fine. The hook is interesting, and the only question I have is why there is no excerpt from the hymn there, given that it's in PD? I think that it'll be nice to actually see at list one stanza of the acclaimed hymn, that "worth all the verses" of the "father of English hymnody". Otherwise it's good to go, QPQ is done, and thanks for the nice article! Artem.G (talk) 15:26, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

PHYSICAL v SPIRIT.

I perceive "Angels" as "spirit beings" with no physical properties/qualities. The Prophet "JACOB(p.b.u.h.)" was created with a body as well as a soul. Thus that prophets' being comprises both physical & spiritual properties/ qualities. If I perceive "Angels" being as purely of "spiritual" composition; how is it possible for a "physical-cum-spirit" being to " wrestle" with a "pure-spirit" being which comprises no physical properties/qualities? Pls clarify. 105.1.66.119 (talk) 21:10, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
