If the Editor has, through inadvertence or ignorance, failed to obtain the sanction of any authors or owners of copyright, whose permission ought to have been asked, he craves their kind indulgence. Any hymns of his own are placed freely at the service of those who may care to reprint them; for he desires from his heart to re-echo the words of one of his correspondents, who, in courteously granting permission for the use of a most beautiful hymn, replied, "I entirely sympathize in your feeling about hymns, as a gift to the Church of Christ: if one is counted worthy to contribute to His praise in the congregation, one ought to feel very thankful and very humble." For himself, the Editor can truly say, that the kind and free authors and proof so many response prietors of hymns has been a real refreshment of spirit in the midst of much anxious and arduous toil.
