"The committee has been at work

10000 hymns have been examined and
about 10000 tunes. BY a process of
exclusion we have residuum of $40
hymns and about as many tunes.
"The principle of selection has been
to obtain hymns which, while avoid
ing weakly sentiment and unreal views
of religion, make n strong appeal for
the exercise of the practical virtues,
inculcate a robust evangelical faith and
maintain a high literary quality. This
principle rules out hymns which have
done duty for many years, but a good
proportion of the old favorites have
been retained. 4t
