Excerpt from Beginner and Primary Songs: For Use in Sunday School and the Home Early childhood is the most impressionable period of life. The things learned then are rarely, if ever, forgotten. How important it is, then, that we should give especial attention to every child of the Beginner and Primary departments of the Sunday School, particularly as to the character of songs which they sing. Realizing our great responsibility we have undertaken the compilation of this song book with the sincere prayer that the songs may touch a responsive chord in the hearts of our dear little friends who will learn them, and that they will prove to be the seed that shall take root and in after years blossom into the fragrant flowers of a Christian life.
