Excerpt from Cantica Sacra, or Hymns for the Children of the Catholic Church, Set to Original Music With the object, then, of rendering the universal introduction of these Hymns practicable, by bringing the work within the reach of all, the words are printed separately, in a small, cheap book, bearing the same title, cantica sacra. Thus, the great bulk of those who will use the work have no occasion to buy the necessarily expensive book containing the music - they will learn the melodies by ear, at the dictation of the director or teacher, while the music-book will be required only by the latter, and by the few more skilful singers chosen for the alto part. In regard to the execution of the Hymns of this collection, the compiler has three favors to ask of those whom it may concern: First, that the sentiments of the differ ent Hymns, or of the different verses of the same Hymn, be carefully studied, and faithfully rendered. The various shades of musical expression, loud, soft, diminish ing and increasing in power, slackening and accelerating the time, etc., etc., cannot always be indicated, once for all, by the composer, - much is left to the judgment and taste of the director, who is supposed to understand and feel that which is to be sung, in order that under his direction it may be faithfully and artistically rendered. Second that the alto part of the Hymns, if it cannot be sung exactly as written, be omitted altogether, not being, strictly speaking, essential to their effect, though its addition greatly enhances it; and that every attempt at improvising an alto part (which is done mostly by singing thirds below the melody) be repressed, promptly, firmly, and persistently - Third: that the organist, unless he be a thorough har monist, play the accompaniments as they are written, without any addition, except perhaps that of strengthening the bass by octaves, where it can be done. The courtesy of Rev. Dr. Cummings, Pastor of St. Stephen's Church, New York, in allowing the pages of this work to be enriched by extracts from his Hymns for Catholic Schools, is hereby gratefully acknowledged.

Excerpt from Songs for Catholic Schools, and the Catechism in Rhyme Holy Stephen, Chief of Martyrs, Thee we hail with special love Mary chose thee for our patron 'mid all saints of heaven above Hear the voices of thy children, Kneeling fondly at thy shrine; Fill our hearts with love for Jesus, With a fervent love like thine.

Excerpt from The Hymns From the Children's Hymnal: With Offices for a Sunday School And in jesus christ His only son our lord; Who was conceived by the holy ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary; Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell, The third day He rose from the dead; He ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of god the father Al mighty; From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the holy ghost; The holy Catholic Church, The Communion Of Saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection Of the body; And the Life everlasting. Amen. All Thy children shall be taught of Thee; And great shall be the peace of Thy children.6 morning. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Hymns for Little Children The title of this little book shows it to be of a kind which stands in as small need as any of preface or explanation. Children, and those in terested in children will feel at once whether it suits them or not. These few lines, however, are prefixed, because the writer of the Hymns wished for some kind of clerical imprimatur, and the Clergyman to whom she applied, thinks and hepes that they will not only be found useful in the way which she earnestly desires, but will also win a high place for themselves in the estima tion of all who know how to value true poetry and primitive devotion. It seems right to add, that the profits of the publication, if any, will be applied to the support of a school for deaf and dumb children main tained altogether by voluntary offerings, in a small town in the north of Ireland.
