Excerpt from Catholic Hymns and Canticles: Together With a Complete Sodality Manual The object of Sodalities and Confraternities being to encourage pious youth Of both sexes in the practice of Christian virtue, and the frequentation of the Holy Sacraments, by uniting them in associations which afford them devout exercises to be performed in common, nothing could be more desirable than a practical manual of rules, prayers, and hymns, adapted to their capacities and needs. At the suggestion of many eminent and devoted clergymen, the author has endeavored to do something toward supplying such a manual in the present little book. It has been composed so as to suit any of the Sodalities or Con fraternities now existing in this country. The second part, containing the hymns, will also be found useful for schools, catechism classes, and masses for children. Whilst the author would not presume to exclude any pious custom hitherto in use in Confraternities already formed, he believes that the few general rules laid down in this manual, Will prove amply sufficient for regulating, and ren dering the exercises of such associations both attractive and edifying.

(If people can be got to sing in praise of any project or ...)
If people can be got to sing in praise of any project or principle, it is easy to arouse their enthusiasm in its favor. If they sing about anything, it is because they love it. All agree that ifC ongregational singing were done with spirit it would be a most powerful auxiliary to the priest. It would aid him very much in the work of instruction and exhortation, which, for the want of some such help, he is obliged to supply by extraordinary preaching, numerous instructions, and spiritual conferences. A ll, too, have felt the want of such singing at special Lenten sendees, during retreats and missions, at low masses, and at the meetings of sodalities established in parishes, and in our colleges and convent-schools. The best effort hitherto made has been to have a few hymns suitable for childrens use sung by children, to which the older people pay little or no attention. The present Hymnal, carefully compiled with the aforementioned purposes in view, is offered to the reverend clergy and to superiors of our educational institutions with the confident assurance that it will realize much that has been deemed desirable in a hymn-book for general use. Having had for several years good opportunities of testing the abilities and tastes of our people in this matter, I have reason to believe that the large majority of the hymns contained in the present collection will be found, on reasonable trial, to be such as the people will learn without difficulty, and will sing with pleasure when assembled in church, and also at home.

Young was born on January 21, 1831 in Bristol, England, the son of Thomas and Sarah Agnes (Stubbs) Young. As an infant he emigrated with his parents to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and finally to Princeton, New Jersey.
A precocious lad, Young was graduated from the College of New Jersey (later Princeton) in 1848 and from the medical school of the University of the City of New York (later New York University) in 1852. Experiencing a call to the ministry, he studied theology at St. Sulpice in Paris and was ordained a priest at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Newark, August 24, 1856.
Appointed an instructor in the classics and an assistant to Bernard McQuaid, the rector of Seton Hall College, Young found time to act as pastor in Princeton village, where as an alumnus of the college he found friendly associations (1857-1861).
After a temporary assignment as pastor at St. John's Church, Trenton, he joined the recently established Society of St. Paul (1862). Young fitted well with the group of convert priests led by Isaac Hecker, and he became a zealous missionary whose eloquent sermons were heard from pulpits in all parts of the United States. He was an early leader in the movement of laymen's retreats and in missions for non-Catholics, as well as an indefatigable controversialist in disputes with Dr. J. M. King, John Jay, 1817-1894, and Robert G. Ingersoll.
A skilled musician, he was one of the first American enthusiasts for a restoration of the Gregorian chant and congregational singing, establishing a Gregorian society to explain the chant, founding the famous Paulist Choir (1873), lecturing on music, and writing a number of articles on Gregorian music which appeared in the Catholic World. In addition to writing some poetry and composing devotional hymns, he compiled several hymnals in the hope of fostering congregational singing as an auxiliary to the priest at the altar: The Complete Sodality Manual and Hymn Book (1863), which was reprinted as Catholic Hymns and Canticles (1888), The Office of Vespers (1869), The Catholic Hymnal (1884), and Carols for a Merry Christmas and a Joyous Easter (1885). Aside from several essays in the Catholic World and in the American Catholic Quarterly Review, he published a long book, Catholic and Protestant Countries Compared (1895), to which is appended a list of American converts of some distinction. Long a delicate man, Young spent the last three years of his life in a wheelchair, becoming a familiar figure, with his long white beard, to the children of the West Fifty-Ninth Street section of New York.
