United Brethren In Christ epub The Sanctuary Hymnal (Classic Reprint)

Bl06op0 Mote The Church has been greatly in need of a new hymnal. Five years ago, the General Conference held at Canton, Ohio, authorized the preparation of such a book. We think a competent committee was at length found in the persons of Dr. J. P. Landis as editor, and Dr. J. A. Lyter, Dr. T. J. Sanders, Prof. J. H. Ruebush as assistants, with I ra B. Wilson as musical critic. A bout a year and nine months of diligent toil have been given to the compilation and editing of this hymnal. The wants and needs of the denomination have been constantly kept in mind. The best hymn and tune vriters of the past and present have been laid under tribute. We believe this collection will be found to express sound doctrine and healthful Christian experience, which will serve to enrich our Church service and contribute to a lofty and true musical taste. Our churches should use such a hymnal, which combines selections for so wide a variety of occasions and so comprehensive a range of subjects with dignity, purity, and elevation oi musical composition, and beauty and fervor of sentiment with true literary qualities. We earnestly trust our congregations will universally avail themselves of the musical, poetical, and devotional riches which this book provides, for their own furtherance in the life of God in the soul.
