HEN the Durham Mission Hymn Book was published, it was

WH thought that the method there adopted of suggesting

appropriate tunes to be found in several well- known Tune Books would be sufficient; this, however, has not proved to be the case, and a Tune Book has therefore been compiled in response to requests for suitable tunes in a compact form. The tunes are for the most part old favourites, a few are printed for the first time.

PREFACE.

The Compiler desires to acknowledge with thanks the permission kindly given by the authors and owners mentioned below to use their copyright tunes and arrangements; particularly he wishes to express his great indebtedness to his friends, Rev. W. Wanstall, Mr. R. H. Lindsay, and one who desires to be unnamed, for the help they have given him in the revision and rearrangement of the harmonies.

Every effort has been made to find the composer or owner of each tune in the few cases in which the Compiler has failed to do so, he trusts that he has not infringed any copyright.

The tunes have been selected simply with a view to Mission use, and in this way it is humbly hoped that they may tend to the greater glory of God in His Church.
