EDITOR’S NOTE
The little volumes in the Arts ofthe Church series are intendedto provide information in an interestingas well as an accurate form about thevarious arts which have clustered roundthe public worship of God in the Churchof Christ. Though few have the opportunityof knowing much about them,there are many who would like to possessthe main outlines about those arts whoseproductions are so familiar to the Christian,and so dear. The authors will writefor the average intelligent man who hasnot had the time to study all these mattersfor himself; and they will therefore avoidtechnicalities, while endeavouring at thesame time to present the facts with afidelity which will not, it is hoped, beunacceptable to the specialist.
