The Secular Song Book , and Rules and Catechism of the Secular Sunday School: Edited by David H. Andrade. Melbourne, 1884.
Gradually there is being brought together in various publications the songs and hymns which, rejecting the supernatural, embrace the social and moral sentiments. The Secular Song Book is the latest and one of the best contributions of the kind. Many of the songs are by the editor, whose facile pen is already well known among Freethinkers. The selection altogether, considering the compass of the work, is admirable, and no Lyceum or Freethought Association should be without it. The Secular Catechism is intended for children, and the moral teaching is conveyed in a simple and direct manner easy to be understood. An interesting chapter on Evolution is at the end of the book, and of course the cosmology of Genesis is eclipsed in the delineation of the science of development. We can warmly recommend the work.
