Excerpt from The Sunday School Service Book, Vol. 2: Hymns for the School IN making a new collection of hymns, the object of the Compiler has been to adapt it to the arrangement of services in the First Part of the Service Book. It in eludes a large number of short hymns, all of them being such as, it is believed, may be properly denominated h ymns for children, (but few of them being taken from the collections made especially for church service, ) and containing such a variety of metres, that, in singing them, there will be opportunity to introduce the juve nile music, with which the children 'in our schools have become familiar, and for which they manifest a strong preference. The two chapters, entitled Illustrations of Scrip ture and Illustrations of N ature, will probably commend themselves to all who know with how much e bct the simple truths, both of Scripture and Nature, can be impressed upon the minds and hearts of chil dren by being incorporated in their hymns, and how important it is, in conducting the exercises of a Sunday School, to be enabled to illustrate such truths in the most interesting manner.
