2 Nov. 1893 From the Library of RAY, S. LONELLOW (83) PREFACE. THIS Collection of sacred songs is designed to embrace the very best of the popular religious melodies adapted to Social Worship. No reasonable expense has been spared in securing the use of copyrights. In only a few instances have we failed to secure what we desired; and those cases of failure we cannot greatly deplore. We have aimed to make the collection sufficiently, comprehensive for exclusive use, where it may be chosen; we have therefore included some of the best of the old standard music.
