Excerpt from A Year of Hymn Stories a Primer of Hymnology

This little book is presented as a primer of hymnology for the purpose of awakening among Sunday school scholars a greater interest in our hymns. It consists of a series of fifty-two hymn-stories, one for each Sabbath of the year, told in simple form without any attempt to give a critical history of the hymns. The writer is grateful to Professor Karl P.Harrington and the Rev. Dr. Charles S. Nutter for helpful suggestions in the preparation of these hymn-stories; and to Silas H.Paine for access to his manuscripts. Some of the stories have never before appeared in any book; others, already well-known, have been drawn from authoritative sources of hymnology. All of the hymns are to be found in the new Methodist Sun day School Hymnal, and the number in parenthesis following the first line of the hymn on each page of this book refers to the number of the hymn in that Hymnal.

Superintendents can profitably spend a few minutes each Sunday in telling the school the story of a hymn, preferably in their own words, adapting to the audience the material on the printed page, or reading it directly from this book. The story should be followed by the singing of the hymn. While the plan of this book follows a hypothetical calendar, the occasional hymns will be found not to fit the actual calendar of any year. Palm Sun day and Easter, for instance, are movable feasts, and even our fixed holidays, to which certain hymns refer, may fall nearer to some other Sabbath than the one herein designated.
