Excerpt from Heart and Voice: A Collection of Songs and Services for the Sunday School and the Home
In preparing these orders of service, the aim has been not only to provide the materials for the common worship of the Sunday school, but - as a glance at the Index of Services will show - to present in their order the great topics of the religious life. Drawn from many sources, they are mainly compiled from the Bible. It has been the endeavor to include in them the most beautiful and impressive passages of the Old and New Testaments, - the classics of Hebrew and Christian piety, - so far as these meet the comprehension and need of childhood, and are susceptible of a liturgical treatment.
As some of the orders may be thought to be too long for ordinary use, they have been divided into sections, one or more of which may be omitted and used on another occasion. A careful study and selection of the songs of the accompanying hymnal, in connection with these services, will greatly add to their enrichment and the impression they produce.
Nine special services are added, which provide for a wider range of Sunday-school interests and occasions, and will commend to the children's heart and conscience the causes of good citizenship, mercy, temperance, and peace on earth.
While the thanks of the Editor arc returned to the friends who have contributed, directly or indirectly, to these services, his grateful acknowledgments arc especially due to Rev. James Vila Blake, the compiler of " Unity Festivals," and Rev. F. L. Hosmer, editor of "The Way of Life"; to Rev. William Chan-ning Gannett for his permission to use, in part, the Festival services prepared for his Sunday school in Rochester, N.Y.; and to Rev. Charles E. St. John, through whose kind intercession it has been possible to include a number of prayers originally prepared by the late Rev. W. H. Furneas, D.D., for his Sunday school in Philadelphia.
