Excerpt from Hymns for Sunday-School Worship MY object, in the present compilation, has been simply to get together a very few hymns for Sunday-school worship such as were not beyond the experience or the understand ing of children, and such as were not likely to be much used in the ordinary church ser vices. Since undertaking the work, I am told that there is a desire for something of this sort, and I am not without the hope that the book may be found useful beyond the limits of my own School, for which it was prepared. I am indebted to a friend for the selection of tunes, which it has been thought best should accompany the hymns.

Excerpt from Hymns and Songs for the Sunday School Upon the Sunday school superintendent depends in large measure the useful ness of the book. He should not limit himself to certain tunes or to certain familiar sections. Each hymn has been inserted for a special purpose, and every hymn is meant to be sung. In the Advent season the children should be taught the Advent hymns, and so on through the Church Year. In many cases it will be possible for the superintendent to impart interesting information about the history of a hymn. Schools should be assembled occasionally for practice. A musical drill, following the Sunday. School lesson, is not contrary to the spirit of the Sunday school.

Excerpt from Elmhurst Hymnal: And Orders of Worship for the Sunday School, Young People's Meetings and Church Services The Elmhurst Hymnal is for the use of the Sunday school in both of its functions, worship and religious instruction. The editors freely acknowledge their obligation from the outset to the editors of earlier hymnals, and to numerous students of hymnology and religious education. There was only one way to discharge this obligation; and that was, to profit by the excellence or suggestion of each, and to make the Elmhurst Hymnal the better for it. The editors desire to call attention to the following features: 1. The Elmhurst Hymnal is equally serviceable for the large or the small Sunday school. Its range includes hymns for all departments from juniors to adults. It is suitable also for young people's meetings, for midweek or Sunday church services. 2. The selection makes ample provision for every period of the church year, all special occasions, seasons, religious and national holidays, and so forth. The hymns include First, such as give specific expression to the religious experience and emotion of youth. Second, the great church hymns and popular favorites which should be learned, as part of their religious education, by all Sunday school pupils. Third, a large number of hymns that appeal to boys and men; doubtless also to giris and women. The book is especially strong in hymns that present the Christian attitude toward life and modern problems, and tend to prompt Christian conduct and action - purity of life, brotherhood, citizenship, and social service, as well as in hymns of prayer, consecration, faith and loyalty. Many hymns have been chosen with special reference to their direct application to the lesson of the day. 3. The Index of Subjects analyzes and classifies all the hymns in such a way as to show at a glance what hymns are available for any lesson, topic, or occasion. Constant and careful use of the index of subjects will help the pastor or superintendent to make the most appropriate selection of hymns. 4. The tunes have been chosen with unusual care. In the first place, the editors have sought to admit only good music: but they have as rigorously excluded too heavy as well as too trivial tunes, bearing in mind always the character of the Elmhurst Hymnal as a book for Sunday schools. The melodies will be found bright, attractive to youth, pitched within range of the average voices. The harmony is simple, and every tune is adapted for unison singing. In most cases, the tune chosen is the one to which a hymn is commonly sung. The use of the Elmhurst Hymnal, therefore, is an education in the best Sunday school music, and ill much of the best of all sacred music. Where, however, usage was not fixed, the editors have chosen what they believed would be found the most attractive tune.

Excerpt from Notes of Triumph: For the Sunday School IN the book hereby offered to the public the authors have endeavored to meet the needs and wants of the many Sunday-school workers who during past years have learned to look to them for help. All those needs and wants have been carefully studied, and wherever a song-book could add interest and inspiration, an earn est attempt to furnish what was required was made. The whole experience and observation of the authors have been concentrated upon the book, and it is the completest and most many-sided with which they have ever been connected. The great days of the Christian year have been provided for, as have also many other les' sacred; but still important, occasions. New features for the Sunday-school programme have been sug gested. Not only have the standard hymns found a large representation, but the tunes to which they are usually sung have also been furnished, to the greater convenience of organist and singer. The desire of many Sunday-schools for responsive worship has been met by well-arranged opening and closing exercises. While no one school may have occasion to use all the special features presented, the large variety from which to select gives assurance that the wants of, every school are provided for.

Excerpt from Carmina for the Sunday School N this volume, a sincere effort has been made to provide a hymnal worthy of and suited to the occasions of Sunday School life. To this end every publication, American and foreign, that promised a reward to faithful search, has been examined. The tunes, new and old, have also been carefully chosen within the range of children's voices, and adapted to the hymns and the character of the service. The design has been to accomplish for the Sunday School, within the limits of hymnals for youth, what has been done for the worship of the greater congregation. Special attention has been given to scriptural hymns, and a larger number of didactic hymns of high character admitted than would be appropriate in a book for adults. A selection has been added for teachers' meetings and Sunday School prayer meetings, which, it is believed, will be welcome.
