Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Golden Censer: A Musical Offering to the Sabbath Schools, of Children's Hosannas to the Son of David The writer's especial attention was called to this work upon observing, a few years since, the character of the 'mnsio that was placed in the hands of Sabbath School children, and, with a determination that his best talents as a composer should be devoted to the Sabbath School cause until our Sabbath Schools should at least be in possession Of melodies and hymns composed expressly for their use, that Were not only pleasing and attractive, but free also from all unhallowed associations, he set himself at work. An ardent love for the employment, and a pretty extensive acquaintance with leading Sabbath School friends through out the country, has brought to the author's aid a host of valuable assistants - writers of some of the sweetest hymns in on language, and many of these, ladies, whose devotion to the cause has inspired their pens with heavenly ardor. These hymns are brimficl of the Gospel, and if they do not sing themselves right into the hearts of both teachers and children, the faul must be in the music, and not in the hymn. More than the usual number of scripture themes will here be found while tha mest popular and appropriate modern feature, the ever recurring Refrain and Chorus, sung as children only can sing ihem, tend-to fasten like a nail in a sure place the sentiment of the hymn. We have space only to suggest to those about adopting the censer, the names of a few pieces asan introduction, viz.: Glory to the Lamb, page 5 My Sabbath Song, p. 6; The Sinner's Friend, 7 Sunday School Recruiting Song, 10; Jesus Paid it All, 12; We are Coming, 17; Never be Afraid, 20; The Blessed Sunday School, 30; Jesus Died for me, 36; Blessed Bible, 42; Bright Mansions, 48; The Better Part, 56; Seeking Jesus, 68; The House upon a Rock, 72; White Robes, 84; Something to do in Heaven, 80; The Little Band, 60; Always There, 9, &c., &c., &c.
