HYMNS AND TUNES

By Editor

At a recent meeting of the California-Nevada Conference and camp-meeting, the following resolution was passed with reference to the use of “Hymns and Tunes” in our church services:—
“Believing in the injunction that we should sing with the spirit and with the understanding, and believing that this message should be expressed more fully than it is in many of the popular songs of today, therefore,—
“Resolved, That we as a conference urge the use of ‘Hymns and Tunes’ in all our churches.”
Doubtless many of our churches throughout the land have missed the singing of the good old advent hymns that are found in “Hymns and Tunes.” At the General Conference held four years ago it was voted that “Hymns and Tunes” be revised. This action caused many of our people to cease purchasing the book, waiting for the revised edition. Considerable time was spent in studying the revision, but the committee appointed to do this finally concluded that it would be impracticable, for many reasons, to undertake a revision of the book. The good, stirring, advent hymns which were an inspiration to our song services for twenty years or more are just as inspiring today as at any time since they were written. “Hymns and Tunes” will not be revised, and we suggest that our churches make use of this book regularly in their Sabbath services.
