JOHN BOSS A 00. rUINTBRB, ?7 T.OSB STREET, 1 V PREFACE. The design of this little book is to furnish in con- venient form, for daily use in the family, the class-' room, the chapel, and the prayer meeting, the hymns and tunes generally called for, and most approved. The selection of hymns has been made by Com- mittees from the College Faculty, and from the two Congregational Churches in this place. They have taken as the basis of the work, the little book of " Hymns for Social Worship," so long in use here but have omitted many hymns and have added main- others. Prof. F. B. Rice, of the Oberlin Conservatory, has performed the work of selecting and arranging the music. The aim has been to make the book so small and inexpensive, and withal so satisfactory in the variety of hymns and tunes presented, that families and classes and churches might be induced very generally to ob- tain and use it.
