Excerpt from Hymns for the Use of the Methodist Episcopal Church: With Tunes for Congregational Worship It will be observed that we have used several tunes in the minor key. The reason for this is, that no compositions are better adapted for devotional purposes. They need not be confined to grave subjects, but may he used with the best effect to express sentiments of thanksgiving and praise. They were so used by our people for many years after the introduction of Meth odism into this country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
