Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coronation Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns and Songs This Hymn Book is the outcome of an extended and successful experi ment in Congregational Singing, nearly all the pieces which it contains having been tested by actual use. This experiment has demonstrated two things: viz. Ist, That in order to put a book into the hands of every member of the Congregation a sine qua 72072 to the highest success - a smaller and less expensive hymnal than those now generally in use is imperatively demanded; 2d, That with the quickened pace of spiritual activity now visible in the Church, there is a call for a more rapid movement in the service of song. With a view of meeting these requirements we present the Coronation Hymnal to the public. It claims to be a selection rather than a collection. But though small and'compa'ct, it has undertaken to present the best and most widely accepted standard hymns and tunes in use in all our churches, combining with these an ample selection of the lively and stirring melodies known as gospel songs. This combination has been found to work so well in actual experience by meeting the demand of the most critical as well as the most popular taste, that our book is sent forth with strong confidence that it will meet a real need.
