Moody, William Revell Northfield $ IR FLEMING H. REVELL COMPANY New York: 158 Fifth Avenue Copyright, 1916, by W. R. MOODY FOREWORD While the needs of the Northfield Schools and Summer Conferences have been specially in view in the choice of hymns comprising this collection, we believe they will also meet the requirements of many churches and institutions. Scores of hymnals and collections, both in Great Britain and this country, have been consulted. Hymns which have been found to express the deepest spiritual experiences of the Church through past generations constitute the greater part of the compilation, while those Gospel Hymns have been retained which have stood the test of time. To these have been added a few newer hymns. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the services of Miss Claire Chapman in the selection of the standard hymns of the church; of the co-operation of Mr. Charles M. Alexander in permission to use recent Gospel Hymns of which he owns the copyright; of Rev. J. Stuart Holden and Rev. George G. Daland for counsel and advice in the choice of tunes. Acknowledgment for permission to use hymns is also due to Mrs. Maltbie Babcock, Mrs. L. S. Chafer, Mr. George C. Stebbins, and Mr. W. H.Doane. All royalties from the sale of these books go to the Northfield Schools. |
