Excerpt from Sunday Songs for Little Children HE Children's Day broke sweetly o'er A weary world repining, When Jesus came to Mary mild, And Christmas stars were Shining On Children's Day, The Children's Day, The happy Children's Day! The Children's Day begins to shine Its morning stars glow faintly; Its dawn climbs up the sky to noon When earth is growing saintly For Children's Day, The Children's Day, The happy Children's Day!

Excerpt from The Childrens Sunday Hour of Story and Song During the years I 909-10 and 1 910-1 I it was my pleasure to assist Miss Hidden in conducting a Sunday Kindergarten. Though the stories and songs for the book were not then completed, we used the general outline of the work with pleasure and success. The idea of God's love and care, followed throughout the seasons, illustrated by stories from the Bible, was carried through systematically, and the children grasped it and were interested in recognizing and illustrating it in their own lives.

Excerpt from Songs for the Sunday School Few of these songs will be new to the average Sunday school pupil except some of those found in the Primary Songs. These can be taught easily to the children in the Prim iry Department. Almost any of the others can be sung at once by a majority of any Sunday school. We suggest, therefore, that leaders seek to avoid the practice which prevails in some Sunday schools of taking a few favorite songs and using them Sunday after Sunday until their power to inspire the singers is lost. The surest way to avoid this is always select the songs in advance of the service, and see that they are suited to the occasion. The Programs for the Sunday School and Devotional Passages have been added because we find among Sunday-school superintendents a widespread demand for such material. These, also, have been chosen with great care. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Beginner and Primary Songs: For Use in Sunday School and the Home Early childhood is the most impressionable period of life. The things learned then are rarely, if ever, forgotten. How important it is, then, that we should give especial attention to every child of the Beginner and Primary departments of the Sunday School, particularly as to the character of songs which they sing. Realizing our great responsibility we have undertaken the compilation of this song book with the sincere prayer that the songs may touch a responsive chord in the hearts of our dear little friends who will learn them, and that they will prove to be the seed that shall take root and in after years blossom into the fragrant owers of a Christian life.

Excerpt from Songs for Little People: For Use in the Sunday-School, the Kindergarten and the HomeIF the wise man who preferred to write the songs of a nation to making its laws could have appointed song-maker's for successive generations of children in every land, there might be today more people moved by concord of sweet sounds, and fewer fit for treason, stratagem, and spoils.Those who are able to reach. The heart of childhood through words, melody, and rhythm may always be counted among the wise who bring their gifts to the child. In order to write songs for children, it is necessary to live with children, to know how to appeal to a child's feeling and understanding. Miss Danielson in her Songs for Little People shows a rare sympathy with the child-life and knowledge of its needs. The work is the result of her actual experience in teaching little ones and writing for them.It is unique in its plan, including songs for every day and songs for Sunday, songs of one stanza for the wee ones, and songs for the older members of the class. The verses of the new songs are simple, childlike and poetic, and it is a real pleasure to find many of the classics of childhood included in the collection.

Excerpt from Sunshine: Songs for Sunday Schools A song may be known and liked in one school, and yet be unappreciated in another: - select' only such as are in favor with the singers; do not insist upon the use of an unpopular piece simply because it IS appropriate to the lesson. Sing often! Sing at least one new song each session; sing the popular songs fre quently, that the hymn may become fixed in the memory; a song, well commit ted and rightly sung, is more to be desired than a lesson carelessly prepared and indifferently taught. The success of music in the Sunday School depends largely upon the class of songs used, and the manner of their using. The song should be one of sunshine and praise. When occasion demands seriousness, sing a hymn from memory, to one of the grand old Church tunes, which should, in every Sunday School, be taught the children, that they may at all sessions of worship Sing with the spirit and with the understanding.

Excerpt from The Sunny Side: A Book of Religious Songs for the Sunday School and the Home The feature of the book to which we desire to call especial attention, is a collection of nearly two-score German Child and Folk Songs which it contains, and which have been selected with great care from the rich mine of German song. Many of the accompany ing poems have been happily translated for us by Rev. Charles T. Brooks, who has kindly given his valuable services to our cause. We trust the sweet ness and sterling quality of these melodies will make them favorites in the Sunday-school. For the rest, we have tried to keep the tunes within the range of the children's voices, have printed the words under the music wherever possible, observed a natural order in the succession of the hymns, added two indexes for convenient reference, and thus aimed at producing a practical, helpful book in the religious nurture of the young. And so may this little work, the fruit of many hours of pleasant labor, go into many a Sunday-school and home, to inculcate a. Natural, joyous piety, and bring the cheer and blessing of song into the hearts of. Young and old. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
