FROM ALL THE BOOKS AND NEW ONES то BE MADE THE BEST. Selections from over One Hundred of our Best PUBLISHED AND FOR SALE BY THE EVANGELIGAL PUBLISHING GO. 51 Lakeside Building, CHICAGO, ILL, MARVAND COLLEGE LIBRARY BEQUEST OF PHILLIPS BARRY PREFACE. In presenting these Hymns, which may be properly termed the "best," we realize that only a portion of the hymns deserving the honor of being so called, are here offered. The taste of no one person has alone been consulted, because in preparing a collection of hymns for a miscellaneous company more of a variety of style and movement must be had than any one person would select. If all the pieces were heavy, with much close harmony, the book would commend itself only to the musician and those of higher musical education, and not be suitable for the musically untrained. We have endeavored to give a number of hymns meeting the different tastes of the people, hymns that have been called the "best" by our fathers, and that are proving and will prove to us and to our children now, to be among the best.
