Excerpt from Pearly Portals for the Sabbath School IN presenting and dedicating to the many Sabbath Schools of our land this collection of new hymns and songs, it is with a hope that our earnest efforts to impart to them spiritual and literary excellence, combined with musical worth and beauty, may prove them worthy of adoption; and that in pearly portals may be found not only the element which pleases, but also that which shall be profitable to all who desire an entrance into the Beautiful City, whose twelve gates are twelve pearls, whose dwellers are immortal, and whose songs shall never grow old.
