Little Old Hymnals

SO- When I find a tiny old hymnal

 in an antique store...

and it is $1,

with a leather cover...

it comes home with me.

A Sunday School Hymn book.

Categories for Hymns might 

be a bit different than today-

-For Persons Convinced of Backsliding.

-For Backsliders Recovered.

Wesley Hymns-
with words of John Wesley from 1779.
There is no copyright in the book.
Simply- "Entered at Stationer's Hall, 
According to Act of Parliament."
John Wesley states- "to be used in all 
our congregations throughout 
Great Britain and Ireland."
Pocketsized-
to carry with you.
No music notes- just the words-
"to be a crown that fadeth not away."
The places this little book would
have been would be a great story.
The lives it would have known-
interesting.
Do you like little books?

Wal-Mart carries a new one-
Wesley-s-Hymns-and-the-Methodist-
Sunday-School-Hymn-Book-
for $30. But, without the cool cover 
and the years of handling.
That's priceless.
