The Sunday Afternoon Song Book. Containing 137 Hymns. For use at “Pleasant Sunday Afternoons,” and Other Gatherings. Compiled by H. A. Kennedy, of the Men’s Sunday Union, Stepney Meeting House. Twentieth Thousand, 2d.; music, 1s.

“Contains 137 hymns, the catholic character of which, in the best sense of the term, may be gathered from the names of the authors, which include Tennyson, Ebenezer Elliott, Whittier, G. Herbert, C. Wesley, Thomas Hughes, J. H. Newman, Longfellow, Bonar, and others. While the purely dogmatic element is largely absent, the Christian life, in its forms of aspiration, struggle against sin and love for the true and the good, is well illustrated.”—Literary World.
