Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year one thousand eight hundred and thirty-seven, by James R. Williams, Samuel K. Jennings, Francis Waters, John Chappell, Philip S. Chappell, and LotherJ. Cox, in the Clerk's Office of the District Couit of Mary- land. ROBERT NKILSON, PRINTER. Baltimore, February 27th, 1837. To the Committee appointed by the General Conference of 1834, — to compile a new Hymn Book, for the Methodist Protestant Church. Dear Brethren: Lastautumn, in order to obviate some causes of delay which previously existed, the Committee entrusted en- tirely to me the compilation of the Hymn Book. To this duty was added the superintendence of the press . I now have the pleasure of reporting the completion of the work. The volume consists of six hundred and forty- eight! pages. As it respects the character of its contents: — the importance, variety and arrangement of its subjects; the manner in which they are treated ; and the adaptation of the collection to the purposes of public, social, family and private devotion ; — the Committee and the Church will form and express their own judgment. Let it suffice for me to remark here, that I have never laboured more ar- duously in the fulfilment of any engagement, than I have done while employed in the accomplishment of this. Humbly praying that the Head of the Church may hon- our the use of the book with his blessing, I remain, Your brother in the Lord, THOMAS H. STOCKTON, James R. Williams, ] Samuel K. Jennings, ! Francis Waters, John Chappell, I Committee Philip S. Chappell, \ LommMee- Luther J. Cox, David Keener, { John J. Harrod, J The Committee appointed by the General Conference to prepare and publish a new Hymn Book for the Metho- dist Protestant Church, take occasion, on the presenta- tion of tliis most valuable collection of Hymns, to tender their acknowledgments to the compiler for his untiring exertions in the prosecution of his task to its completion ; and commend the work to the attention and use of all the churches, as a body of Hymns embracing every sub- ject within the entire compass of divinity, systematically and perspicuously arranged, and admirably adapted to public, social, family, and private worship. It is presumed, that a more comprehensive and spirit- ual collection of Hymns, better calculated to instruct the understanding in the truths of religion, to improve the heart in pious sentiment, and elevate the affections, has never yet appeared in the English language. And we sincerely believe, that under the sanctifying and saving influences of the Holy Spirit, the right use of this book will promote and increase the knowledge and piety of all who employ it in the worship of Almighty God, through the mediation of the divine Redeemer.

The following resolution in reference to this compila- tion of Hymns, was passed by the General Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church, in May 1838. '-Resolved, that the Hymn Book compiled by the authority of the General Conference of 1834, shall be the Hymn Book of the Methodist Protestant CAwrcA." ARRANGEMENT OF SUBJECTS. Tage I.
