Do not be hesitant. Take a deep breath and try it. Do not spoil your experience of worship by blaming someone else for selecing an unfamiliar hymn. Remember, all familiar hymns were unvamiliar once. Above all, do not close your hymnal and sulk. A negative influence is harmfl to those around you and to yourself. Do listen carefully when the music is played. You may learn to like it. Do read the words mediatively. They may express a flight of spiritual thought in which you can concer, and you may find your own spirit winging to the Father of us all. Do remember that the hymns of our hymnals have been selected by musicians and iministers of high repute. It is not intelligent o dismiss lightly the selection of discriminating minds. Do thank God for the privilege of extending your musical and spiritual horizons in something new; that you are not confined to the limitationf of your past experience.
