There is no padding or mere theorizing in the book. Everything written is the outcome of living experience, and has stood the test of many years' trial. Other methods may be equally good, or better; but because I have found what is herein stated to be, in my judgment, the most effective, I have, without reserve, placed my plans and experience at the disposal of all who are seeking to develop Choral music and Choral singing, either in the small Choir or in the large Festival Chorus.

Many also are the books on the teachings of Jesus. Very few, however, are the volumes which attempt the obvious task of bringing the two together. Either the history is given at length with a bare sketch of Jesus, or the message of Jesus is more fully given and the history is so abbreviated that the teaching is not seen in its true perspective. The purpose of this volume is so to present both subjects in sufficient detail that the gem of Jesus' religion will be seen in that appropriate and adequate setting which will enable the modern reader to appreciate its full value and beauty.

Bisno, in the early 1900s, one of the best-known labor leaders among the Jewish garment workers in Chicago and New York. Born in Russia in 1866, the son and grandson of tailors, he was apprenticed to the trade as a boy, and when his family migrated to the United States in 1881, he went to work at once; for a short time in Atlanta, where the family first lived, then in Chattanooga, and finally in Chicago, where the family settled in 1882. It was there that his interest in improving conditions for workers developed, and for more than thirt years he took a leading part in union activity in the garment industry, serving in 1890 as the first president of the Chicago Cloak Maker's Union, one of the forerunners of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union and later as chief clerk of the Joint Board of the ILGWU in New York City. Although after 1917 he devoted most of his time to the real estate business, he never lost interest in union affairs.
