Hymns for Christian Devotion Especially Adapted to the Universalist Denomination

In presenting this work to the public, the compilers would say, that they do not intend it as a rival of any other Hymn Book already in existence; but, if advancement in the light of other good works be allowable, as an improvement on them all. Although evidently designed in one sense for a denomination, they have also intended that it shall answer in some measure the demands of a liberal and progressive Christianity— a Christianity, under whatever name or pretension found, that would diffuse Christ's spirit and do his works of truth and love among men.
