TUNES FOR THE NEW HYMN BOOK.

By G. I. B.

Soon after the General Conference, an article was published in the REVIEW inviting the members of the large committee, or other brethren interested in the Hymn Book to be brought out hereafter, to send in hymns or tunes for the special committee to consider. We know of only one brother who has responded. We call attention to this matter again. If any have tunes which they think ought to be in this book, they should send them in, so that they can be considered. The making of a Hymn Book is a matter requiring great care, good taste, special knowledge of music, and a wide acquaintance with other books. It will take much time. Hence there should be no delay, if any have favorites they wish considered. Otherwise, if such pieces should not appear in the new book, they should “forever hold their peace,”
