Hymnal for Children
(Memorial 705)
Wuereas, Love and appreciation of genuinely good church
music can be fostered in very early youth; and
WHEREAS, Children should not be discouraged in their desire
to sing: by words which are beyond their grasp, by music which is.
beyond their pitch, by rhythm which is too complex; and.

introduction to our present church hymnal; therefore be it:
Resolved, That Synod authorize its Music Committee to inves-
tigate and act upon the need for a children’s hymnbook, having
in mind:
1, That a representative group of the best and most singable
hymns of the new church hymnal be retained;
. 2, That the best hymns written expressly for children be added; .

4. That an adequate number of hymns written for beginners — ale
be included; ct

‘ opening and closing of Sunday school sessions, be included;
