Theological Seminary. Fig 28 1910 SALUTATION. II l Ti demaOTP unday Sc lool Songs of the best character bsteady and healthful. The Tncessapt use to which a Sunday School Song Book is subject renders a renewal of the material a moral necessity. Sometimes the very excellence of a song, inviting a too frequent repetition, leads to an ultimate diminution of interest in it. Hence the need of providing a continuous supply to meet a constantly increasing demand. The success which has attended our endeavors to furnish the best material for the Song Service, is known and recognized by the mass of Sunday Schools in all parts of our land. Millions of our books have gone into the hands of the young people, and multitudes of persons in our churches testify to the salutary impression made upon them in their youth by tje singing of these evangelical songs. We have long recognized the fact that the time for imposing inferior productions on the Sunday School has gone by. In the general elevation of the common taste we claim to have had no insignificant share. We have had one unwavering purpose to make the best books for practical use. We have striven to lead the young people through the safe grounds of gospel hymnody, and put into their mouths the melodies that would please them. But in all our leading, we have kept within sight and touch of those who were following us. A book for the Sunday School should minister to the old and youngs the experienced Christian the youthful convert, the thoughtful inquirer, the little child. It should have the best of the old favorites and the brightest of the new productions. It should be sweet with the stream of the gospel running all through it. It should be edited with care and stamped with beauty. It should last as long as a book ought to last.
