THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL MELODIST. 



BT REV. A. D. MERRILL 



The music, a large portion of which is original, has been 

 prepared expressly for the use of children in our Sabbath- 

 schools. Of the eminent qualifications of the author, — so 

 well known and beloved in all our churches, — to prepare such 

 a work, those acquainted with the previous musical produc- 

 tions of Bro. Merrill will need no further guarantee. The 

 hymns have also been selected with great care, both in refer- 

 ence to securing a variety and as to their lyrical merits. 



The publisher proposes to issue the volume at the lowest 

 price at which it can be afforded, that it may enjoy a general 

 circulation in our schools. The following commendation of 

 the work, while passing through the press, was forwarded to 

 the publisher by the Secretary of the Preachers' Meeting : — 



At a meeting of the Preachers of Boston and vicinity, held 

 at the Committee-room, No. 7 Comhill, Boston, the following 

 resolution was unanimously adopted, and it was voted that a 

 copy of the same be presented by the President and Secretary 

 to Brother Charles H. Peirce : — 



Resolved, That we cordially recommend the publication of 

 the book of music and hymns prepared for the use and benefit 

 of Sunday-schools, by our excellent father in the Gospel, Rev. 

 A. J). Merrill. Loranus Crowell, President
