Excerpt from Children's Hymns, With Tunes: A Book for Use in the Sunday School
The editor's object in compiling this little book has been to make a collection which may to a certain extent become a standard one. In pursuance of this end, no Hymn or Tune (with the exceptions of the eight beautiful tunes written especially for this work by Mr. Arthur E. Johnstone, of one by Mr. Hubert P. Main, and of two or three of those by the editor) has been admitted which has not, by long practical use, proved to be at once pleasing and interesting in character and of sufficiently sterling quality to wear well.
Denominational differences have, as much as possible, been avoided.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, originating from the late 19th century, delves into the realm of hymnody for Sunday school use, addressing the perceived shortcomings of existing hymnals. The author critiques the existing options, finding many to be either subpar in literary and musical quality or too complex for children to grasp. In response, this work aims to strike a balance, curating a collection of hymns that are both excellent and accessible to young minds. The author emphasizes the importance of providing children with hymns that are theologically sound, easy to understand, and suitable for public worship, focusing on themes of prayer and praise. The selection of music is guided by the principle of retaining the traditional tunes associated with well-known hymns, ensuring familiarity and ease of singing for children. The author underscores the significance of melody in engaging young singers and advocates for harmonies that are pleasing even to trained musicians. This book contributes to the movement for elevating the quality of music in religious services, aiming to cultivate an appreciation for excellence in both lyrics and melodies among children. The author's insights on hymn selection and their impact on children's spiritual and musical development remain relevant, offering valuable guidance for those involved in music ministry and religious education.
