Preface THIS little book has been compiled by one whose labour of love among the young has been long continued and has borne much fruit under our It is an attempt, and, as we believe, a successful one, to provide a compilation of Hymns and Services adapted for use both in the Church and in the Home.

Introductory Note HAPPILY, Services for the Young are so numerous and so varied in the present day, that a book which seeks to combine Hymns and Forms of Service for all Seasons of the Year needs no apology. Though this compilation consists of words only, I have ventured to recommend suitable tunes at the top of each hymn. These tunes can be readily found in the hymn-books that are generally used in Church and Home. The careful testing-and not the mere trying over "-of the music is always an advantage with this aim in view, special attention has been given to the choice of tunes. 66 : The Shortened Forms of Service, taken entirely from the Prayer Book, are so arranged that one of them, together with four hymns and an Address, need not occupy more than fifty minutes. The Service of Intercession for Missions has been drawn up, in the hope that Workers will encourage the Young to share in the work of carrying out the parting command of our Lord. Have we not yet to learn the power and the value of Children's Intercessions for Missions? In collecting and editing the hymns, I have endeavoured to ascertain and, with few exceptions, to use the original texts, in order to pay due respect, both to the writers who "have crossed the flood" and to those who are crossing now." I owe also a deep debt of gratitude to those authors whose hymns in this book appear for the first time. 66 |
