quantity of material1 much of which had to be set aside as1 for various reasons1 unsuitable4 ,but1 as can be understood1 in process of reading1 thoughts linked themselves to the memory1 and echoes of music1 much of it surpassingly sweet1 lingered1 and from those echoes and thoughts the ,centos and ,suggestions have been formed4 ,the phrases containing the thoughts1 and the echoes repeating the music1 have been woven together to form the fabric which is shewn here4 ,this volume is presented because the author believes that the hymnody of the ,west must find much of its finest enrichment in the praise literature of the ,church of the ,east4 ,it would be presumptuous to think that these renderings and suggestions are at all a worthy expression of the noble and richly varied praise of the ,eastern ,church2 but they constitute1 together with those contained in two former volumes by the present author1 perhaps one-half of all the pieces which have yet appeared in ,english verse4 ,all the renderings in this collection appear for the first time4 ,if any one thinks he has reason to complain of their quality1 let him try to do better4 ,the field lies untilled for any one who will work it4

his essay is a welcome supplement to that which preludes ,neale's small collection4 ,mr4 ,brownlie is a true catholic1 and1 in helping to catholicise our hymn books1 he is furthering that unity of
