Come to think of it, you're right, McGrath. And even if there were such a hymn, why would it come to signify skepticism?

When I was a girl, my mother brought me library book called 'In Calico and Crinoline.' Each chapter told the story of a famous woman. One was devoted to the beautiful Elizabeth Martin. She didn't do anything notable, but she achieved fame.

Then I learned the pretty tune I mentioned above. I suppose it was a 'play party song.'
