Excerpt from Winnowed Songs for Sunday Schools N winnowed songs for Sunday Schools, may be found a number of new Hymns and Tunes never before published, together with a choice selection of the most useful and popular pieces to be found in the whole range of Sunday School Hymnody. While we might have filled every page of this volume with the most classical music of foreign composers, and secured thereby for the book a very limited use and circulation, yet we have not felt called upon to do so. We have, however, retained a number of the most useful and practical of this class of tunes by such composers as dykes, hopkins, sullivan, barnby, hayne and others, but a large majority of the hymns and tunes are by our own American authors, whose Gospel Songs are now being sung around the world in every land where the gospel has been proclaimed or the name of jesus is known. This book has been compiled especially for Sunday Schools, largely from the same sources of Sacred Song which gave to the world the popular collection known as Gospel Hymns. We invite a careful examination of every page of winnowed songs, believing that the pieces will sing their way into the hearts of the children wherever used. We desire to express our thanks to the large number of authors and composers whose names are found in this collection, for kind permission granted to use copyright pieces. Special thanks are due to hubert P. Main for valuable assistance in the preparation of this work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
