Excerpt from The Bright Array: A New Collection of Sunday School Songs The success which has attended our endeavors to furnish the best material for the Song Service, is known and recognized by the mass of Sunday Schools in all parts of our land. Millions of our books have gone into the hands of the young people, and multitudes of persons in our churches testify to the salutary impression made upon them in their youth by the singing of these evangelical songs. We have long recognized the fact that the time for imposing inferior productions on the Sunday School has gone by. In the general elevation of the common taste we claim to have had no insignificant share. We have had one unwavering purpose to make the best books for practical use. We have striven to lead the young people through the safe grounds of gospel hymnody, and put into their mouths the melodies that would please them. But in all our leading, we have kept within sight and touch of those who were following us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
