Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sacred Hymns and Tunes Designed to Be Used by the Wesleyan Methodist Connection (or Church) Of America The General Conference of the Wesleyan Methodist Connection (or Church) of America, held in Fairmount, Indiana, in October, 1895, ordered the compilation and publication of a new Hymnal with Tunes, and created a committee unto whom the work of compilation was entrusted, as follows: A. T. Jennings, A. W. Hall, Clara Tear Williams, N. Wardner, S. A. Manwell, E. W. Bruce, G. G. Rich, H. Ackers, and W. S. Schenck. The result of the labors of this committee is contained in the pages which follow, and is submitted to the Church in hope that all of God's children who use this book may sing with the spirit and with the understanding also. The tunes have been chosen with a view to their use by the entire congregation of worshipers wherever the book is used. The hymns are all of them good; not one has been selected for any reason but its excellence; and the number and variety are believed to be sufficient to afford every true worshiper of God a choice medium for the utterance of every religious sentiment which may spring from the deep fountains of the inner life. We believe that the doctrines of the Bible, and particularly the doctrine of Christian holiness, are clearly and amply taught, as they should be in the hymnology of the Wesleyan Methodist Church.
