Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Home and School Hymnal The sub-committee appointed by the Praise Committee Of the Free Church Of Scotland, in November 1888, to prepare a hymnal for the young, present the result Of their labours in the home and school hymnal.' It has been the effort Of the sub-committee, first Of all, to provide a manual of devotion for the Family; especially to enliven and enrich the character of Family Worship. It has been their effort also to provide a manual of devotion for Sunday and Day Schools, Senior Classes, Church and other Services for the Young, Mission Services, and several Special Occasions. The result of any attempt to provide for tastes, occasions, and ages differing so widely must be a compromise. But the sub-committee trust that the selection of hymns and tunes in the home and school hymnal may prove sufficiently diversified and catholic for the Obj ects which they have in view, and sufficiently refined to please the more critical. As the use Of a Church Hymnal is assumed, the hymns and music of the home and school hymnal' have been drawn from modern sources more freely than would otherwise have been the case; and several eminent com posers have written tunes expressly for this hymnal. Pains have been taken to verify the text and authorship Of hymns and tunes; and any necessary details regarding either will be found in the full score musical editions. Apposite headings, taken sometimes from the Authorized, sometimes from the Revised, Version, have been prefixed to the hymns. The heading is in tended to express the gist of each hymn - to serve as a keynote, and should be read over distinctly before the hymn is sung.
