“Sabbath Schools have, of late years (and long may it continue to be
so), been favored with the special grace of the Spirit of God; and
great numbers, from their classes, have been led to profess publicly
their attachment to the Redeemer. It need not be said that a volume
of Hymns, compiled on the principle of merging all denominational
peculiarities, _could not admit_ into its pages hymns on the subject
of baptism. But need Baptist schools be thus restricted? Surely not:
and though our books of hymns used in public worship contain those
adapted to this ordinance, they are yet generally both quite limited
in their number and quite deficient in allusion to the early age
of those candidates who are from the Sabbath School, and who often
constitute a majority of the whole number. This volume contains
several hymns on this subject, not found in books in common use in
this vicinity, in New England, or, it is believed, in the South or
West generally.”
