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 Songs for Worship in the Sunday-School, Social-Meeting, and Family A large number of the Hymns are entirely new, many are careful selections from the choicest modern Sun day-school and Church lyrics and these new and selected pieces are supplemented by a large and varied collee tion of well known hymns - pure, sweet, and grand hymns, endeared by a thousand associations, and which, though sung often and every-where, can never grow old. The character of the Tunes is in full keeping with that of the Hymns. Care has been taken to avoid the extremes of lightness and dullness, and to combine those elements which give and maintain solid cheerfulness, the golden mean in sacred song. Worship in the Sunday-school, in Meetings for Praise and Prayer, and in the Family, is eminently social in its character, which of itself indicates that the sanie kind of song is adapted to each. Experience teaches that the devotional music used with best effect in the sunday-school, will inspire and gladden all who worship in thé Social-meeting, and delight the hearts of parents and children around the family altar.
