A Book Of Song And Service For Sunday School And Home

Excerpt from A Book of Song and Service for Sunday School and Home The General Services, ten in all, are supposed to be sufficient in number and variety to meet the wants of a Sunday School from month to month. The majority are simple in structure; a few are more elabo rate. They are intended for schools well trained in music, and also for those less equipped in musical ability. The use of any particular service in the book is open to free judgment, whereby omissions, introduction of hymns, and other adaptations, can be made. Some familiar congregational tunes will be found in these Services. They do away with the need of turning to another part of the book for a hymn, but do not prevent such a course. These church tunes when learned in childhood prepare the pupils for better worship in the church. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
