Excerpt from The Congregational Mission Hymnal and Week-Night Service Book: Edited for the Congregational Union of England and Wales Mr. Barrett's draft was carefully considered by both committees. Its leading features and substance were entirely approved; and many valuable suggestions made to the Editor were incorporated in the work. On the suggestion of the Editor the revision of the harmonies of all the non copyright tunes in the entire work was entrusted to one of the most distinguished musicians of the present day, Mr. Joseph Barnby, of Eton College, Windsor. It is a pleasure to acknowledge the great care and attention Mr. Barnby has devoted to the re-arrangement of many of the most popular melodies contained in the book, and the value of the exquisite compositions from his own pen which enrich the present book.
