Excerpt from A Selection of Hymns, Adapted to the Devotions of the Closet, the Family, and the Social Circle: And Containing Subjects Appropriate to the Monthly Concerts of Prayer for Success of Missions and Sunday Schools; And Other Special Occasions

As the Object of the editor is, to aid the de votions of all true Christians, who may choose to avail themselves Of his humble labours; he has not introduced into the work any hymns, which can properly be called secta rian that is, such as can be sung only by one denomination Of Christians. It is be lieved, that there is not a hymn in this'whole collection, which may not be used by all per sons Of evangelical views and pious feelings. And it is a pleasing consideration, that per sons who seem to be wide apart in regard to many speculative points, can Often harmonize in their devotional exercises. This fact un doubtedly evinces, that Christians frequently differ more from each other in appearance, than in reality: for they who can sincerely and cordially unite in the same prayers, and in the same spiritual songs, must be Of one heart and one mind in all that constitutes the essence of true religion. This hymn book, therefore, will be equally suited to all Evan gelical denominations; and it will be seen.
