[nabs-l] Helen Keller - the activest?

[Joe Orozco]

An excellent reminder!  I was just reading about her a couple months ago,
and I never knew some of my favorites are attributed to her.

Hello:

     While reading these messages on activists, I was thinking 
of a blind 
person who was fairly well known in the nineteenth century. She 
was Francis 
Jayne Crosby usually known as Fanny J. Crosby. She was born in 
1820 and died 
in 1915. Numbers vary, but she wrote between 6,000 and 9,000 
hymns. Although 
not an activist like Helen Keller, Dr. tenBroek etc., she in 
her own way 
influenced a great many people. Three of her hymns are: To God 
Be The Glory, 
Blessed Assurance and Pass Me Not Oh Gentle Savior. Have a great day.

Regards,

Robert Jaquiss
