Excerpt from Hymns and Their Singers The motto which I have chosen for this little book contains my excuse as well as my reason for having written it. In modern times Hymns have assumed such an important position in our public worship, that some acquaintance with their origin, history and meaning, seems necessary for their intelligent use. Influenced, therefore, by this idea, I was induced to prepare and preach three series of seven sermons each, on the subject of "Hymns and their Singers." The result will be found in this book. My object was to interest my people in the authorship and history of the hymns they sing, as well as in the meaning of the words they use, and thus to aid them in adopting St. Paul's resolution as their motto: "I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also."
