CANON 25 OF TITLE I OF THE DIGEST. OF CHURCH MUSIC. § 1. The Hymns which are set forth by authority, and Anthems in the words § 2. It shall be the duty of every Minister of this Church, with such assistance Copyright, 1879, by Chas. L. Hutchins; Copyright, 1889, by James Pott & Co.; (11) In preparing a musical edition of the Hymnal set forth by the General Convention of 1892, the editor has sought to keep in mind not only the great variety of occasions and services for which the Hymnal provides, but the equally great variety of tastes, and he might well add needs, of those who will use it. Influenced and guided in his work by these two considerations more than by any other, he hopes that this musical edition of the Hymnal of the Church may be found helpful not only in city parishes having well trained choirs, but in country parishes, and missions and homes; above all, that it may do something towards the increase of congregational singing. The editor would consider it a privilege, did the limits of this preface permit, to mention by name the many clergy, and others, who have aided him with valuable suggestions and contributions. To them all, and to those who have kindly given permission for the use of copyrighted music, he gratefully returns his thanks. And he is under special obligation for advice and critical assistance to Mr. Horatio W. Parker, organist of Trinity Church, Boston, to Mr. Warren A. Locke, organist of St. Paul's Church, Boston, and Harvard University, Cambridge, and to Mr. Arthur Whiting, of Boston. CONCORD, MASSACHUSETTS, Conversion of S. Paul, A.D. 1894. NOTE. A few simple settings of portions of the Communion Office have been added in this edition for missions and parishes which do not find it convenient to use separate service books.
