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 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 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 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.

Excerpt from A Book of Song and Service for Sunday School and Home The General Services, ten in all, are supposed to be sufficient in number and variety to meet the wants of a Sunday School from month to month. The majority are simple in structure; a few are more elabo rate. They are intended for schools well trained in music, and also for those less equipped in musical ability. The use of any particular service in the book is open to free judgment, whereby omissions, introduction of hymns, and other adaptations, can be made. Some familiar congregational tunes will be found in these Services. They do away with the need of turning to another part of the book for a hymn, but do not prevent such a course. These church tunes when learned in childhood prepare the pupils for better worship in the church. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
