HE object of the Sunday-school is not merely to study a few verses from the Bible even- week. It is to meet in a sacred service. centred about the Bible as the text-book of the Christian religion, and conducted for the development of the religious life. The music of such a service is not an aesthetic prelude and postlude to a half- hour of study ; it is the expression of that life of faith and hope and love which is the essence of the Christian religion. For the expression of such a life, no poetry and no music can be too good ; the " second best " is not to be endured, much less adopted, as a supposed accommodation to the tastes of children. Children, no less than adults, are entitled to the best, and are capable of enjoying and singing the best. Upon these principles tin's Hymnal is constructed, by one who in Plymouth Sunday-school has demonstrated the capacity of young people, under guidance, to enter into and appreciate the noblest expression of the divine life as it appears in the lyrics of the most poetic and spiritual English Hymn-writers, and to sing the best sacred music which modern song-writers have called into being and mated to such hymns. Those who believe in these principles will find in this book an admirable embodiment of them ; and t<> those who are sceptical concerning the high ideal here briefly and imperfectly set forth, this book- will serve as an equally admirable instrument for the purpose of trying in the Sunday- school how far this ideal can be realized. If they have faith in the possibility of their young people, and a patient enthusiasm themselves, they will be surprised at the result. LYMAN ABBO'lT. Plymouth Church. Brooklyn. New York. Editors' Preface HIS book is the outcome of many years' experience in Sunday-schools, as teacher and superintendent on the part of one editor, and as precentor on the part of the other. It has been their aim to give the very best hymns and music attainable ; and yet, with the exception of a few tunes intended for school-choirs, there is nothing here which is not now easily sung by ordinary school-children. The selections have been made chiefly from the three Congregational Hymnals (Sunday-school, Church, and Mission) edited by Rev. George S. Barrett, Joseph Barnby, and E. J. Hopkins, — the best books of their kind ever published ; but many selections have also been made from " Hymns Ancient and Modern," Barnby's " Hymnary," Sullivan's " Church Hymns," Dr. Allon's admirable " Psalmist Hymnal," and other books. While most of the hymns are peculiarly adapted to the use of children, some are intended for use in prayer-meetings ; and the book, as a whole, is suitable for both purposes. THOMAS G. SHEARMAN.

When winds are raging o'er the upper ocean, And billows wild contend with angry roar, "T is said, far down beneath the wild commotion, That peaceful stillness reigneth evermore. Far, far beneath, the noise of tempests dieth, And silver waves chime ever peacefully ; And no rude storm, how fierce so e'er it flieth. Disturbs the Sabbath of that deeper sea. 3 So to the heart that knows Thy love, O Purest ' There is a temple sacred evermore ; And all the babble of life's angry voices Dies in hushed stillness at its peaceful door. 4 Far, far away, the roar of passion dieth, And loving thoughts rise calm and peacefully ; And no rude storm, how fierce so e'er it flieth. Disturbs the soul that dwells. O Lord, in Thee. O Rest of rest ! O Peace serene, eternal ! . Thou ever livest, and Thou changest never ; And in the secret of Thy presence dwelleth Fulness of joy forever and forever. Harriet Beeches Stowi (JESUS. HIS LIFE AND NATURE.) 7o W. C.

Are you blacker than all other creatures in guilt ? O fear not, and doubt not ; the mother who bore you Loves you less than the Saviour whose blood you have spilt. 5 O come then to Jesus, and say how you love Him. And vow at His feet you will keep in His grace ; For one tear that is shed by a sinner can move Him, And your sins will drop off in His tender embrace. 6 Come, come to His feet, and lay open your story Of suffering and sorrow, of guilt and of shame : For the pardon of sin is the crown of His glory, And the joy of our Lord to be true to His name. Second Hymn. t THE Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know ; I feed in green pastures, safe-folded to rest ; He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow, Restores me when wandering, redeems when oppressed. 3 In the midst of affliction my table is spread ; With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o'er With perfume and oil Thou anointest my head : O, what shall I ask of Thy providence more ? 2 Through the valley and shadow of death though I stray, 4 Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful God, Since Thou art my Guardian, no evil I fear ; Still follow Thy steps till I meet Thee above ; Thy rod shall defend me, Thy staff be my stay ; j I seek, by the path which my forefathers trod, No harm can befall, with my Comforter near.
