Abstract
The title of this article is taken from Nathan Strong (b. 1748), one of a host of hymn writers who have emulated the psalmists in exhorting us to sing. Strong, a Connecticut Congregationalist minister and compiler of an early collection of hymns to be sung in revival services, ended his ministry two hundred years ago. His hymn prompted me to ponder the virtual disappearance of exhortations to sing from more recent texts (explored in a search of Hymnary.org). Has exhortation gone out of style? Further exploration revealed that exhorters have a role in the structure of a variety of denominations. United Methodists define exhortation as a spiritual gift, characterized as offering encouragement, wise counsel, unflagging support, and empowerment.1 A tall order for a hymnwriter, but perhaps one to be revisited. This compilation of Hymnic Anniversaries afforded many such opportunities for reflection and exploration, and it is my hope that the same will be true for readers of this article.1966ChronologyPakistan and India signed a treaty resolving their dispute over Kashmir.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
