Excerpt from The Free Church Council Hymnal: With Tunes, Prepared by a Special Committee of the National Council of Evangelical Free Churches When I was asked by the Committee of the National Council of the Evangelical Free Churches to edit a Hymnal for use in Special Missions, a very crowded life, a feeling of unfitness for the task, and many other reasons, made me hesitate. A desire to help the admirable work of the Council in any way I could, made me pause before refusing; and the urgent request of the missioners themselves that I should under take the work, caused me to yield, and brought consent. I have tried to produce a very suitable and workable book for Mission Services amongst the masses. I feel the result falls far short of my ideal of what a popular Mission Hymnal ought to be and, so 'far as it is successful, I owe a great deal to the co-operation of Rev. Thomas law, and of his assistant, Mr. A. E. Watson, who has charge of the Publi cation.department of the Council.
