Excerpt from The Endeavor Hymnal: For Young People's Societies, Sunday Schools and Church Prayer Meetings The endeavor hymnal is the response of the United Society of Chris' tian Endeavor to a widely expressed desire on the part of the young people for a higher and more varied class of hymns for use in the prayer meeting. In the preparation of this book the rich resources of Christian hymnology have been freely drawn upon. While it does not lack in the best class of what are known as gospel hymns, it gives proportionate place to the' hymns of praise and devotion which cannot fail to quicken the sense Of reverence and worship, and stimulate the Spiritual life. Along the lines of Service, Christian Citizenship, Consecration, The Quiet Hour, Missions, and Evangelism, the collection is especially full and comprehensive.
