Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hymns and Songs for Bands of Hope: Enlarged Edition, Containing Over Two Hundred Pieces The Committee of the United Kingdom Band of Hope Union believe that this selection of Hymns and Songs for Bands of Hope will completely meet the require ments of both Junior and Senior Societies. The greatest care has been taken to select Hymns and Songs of the most suitable character, and special attention has been devoted to their literary and musical merits. The First Edition was issued in 1881, under the able editorship of Mr. Frederic Smith, assisted by Mr. W. Harding Bonner. Popular favour was accorded to the book from the first, and more than 2, copies of the original Edition were sold. After nearly a quarter of a century the Committee felt that it would be desirable to add to the collection some of the excellent Hymns and Songs which have appeared since the book was originally published. The work of revision was placed in the hands of a sub-committee, consisting of Mr. Lionel Mundy (chairman of Committee), Rev. Carey Bonner (secretary, Sunday School Union), Messrs. Rowland Hill; Arthur Newton, Herbert West, Charles Wakely (secretary), and Judson Bonner (trade Manager). Some of the original pieces have been omitted in favour of others likely to be more popular, and the number increased from 176 to 203. The Committee desire to accord their special thanks to the Rev. Carey Bonner for the valuable assistance so readily given. His extensive acquaintance with Hymnology, and his well-known ability as a musical composer and editor, rendered his co-operation of exceptional value.
