Excerpt from Pearls for Prayer Meetings: And for Protracted and Revival Meetings, and Also Adapted for Family and Public Worship; Being a Selection of the Best and Most Popular Hymns Now in Use The first edition of this little book was quickly exhausted, and a second is called for. The Press has Spoken favorably of it, and many letters have been received from Pastors who have carefully examined it, speaking of it in terms of unqualified approbation, as meeting a great want in the Church. In view of the fact also that our approved hymn books are all expensive, many ministers strongly advised that a few additional hymns should be added to this collection, so that the book may be adapted not merely to private and family worship, and to prayer meetings, but also to the public services of the sanctuary on the Lord's day, and may be used exclusively, especially in new and feeble congregations, where the people are unable to supply them selves with larger and more costly books.
