THE NEW CHURCH PRAISE BOOK.
WORSHIP IN SONG.
A SELECTION OF
Hymns and Tunes for the Service of the Sanctuary.
By JOS. P. HOLBROOK, Mus. Doc.,
Musical Editor of “Songs for the Sanctuary.” “Baptist Praise Book.”
“Methodist Hymnal,” Author of “Quartet and Chorus Choir,” etc.
etc.
In this work Dr. Holbrook has put the mature results of long,
patient and careful study. His excellent judgment and taste, and
the great attractiveness of his compositions, and especially
HIS ADMIRABLE ADAPTATIONS,
have already been noted and appreciated by all who are familiar
with the former works edited by him. In addition to his own more
familiar compositions, as well as new tunes which now appear for
the first time, the author has drawn upon the store of ENGLISH
AND GERMAN TUNES, such as have already become dear to American
congregations. Where entirely new tunes appear, or such as are not
generally known, the chorister will always find an old “stand-by”
upon the same or opposite page. The book is thus adapted to both
the precentor and choir.
In the selection and arrangement of Hymns he has been efficiently
assisted by Rev. Dr. J. GLENTWORTH BUTLER who has been a life-long
student of English Hymnology.
The work contains 450 pages, in full cloth and burnished edges.
Correspondence solicited. Returnable examination copies sent to
Pastors or Committees. Specimen pages free to any applicant.

DIFFICULTIES, ETC.
PREPARED ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTION OF
Prof. E. N. Horsford, of Cambridge, Mass.
There seems to be no difference of opinion in high medical
authority of the value of phosphoric acid, and no preparation has
ever been offered to the public which seems to so happily meet the
general want as this.
It is not nauseous, but agreeable to the taste.
No danger can attend its use.
Its action will harmonize with such stimulants as are necessary to
take.
It makes a delicious drink with water and sugar only.
Prices reasonable. Pamphlet giving further particulars mailed free

Hood’s Sarsaparilla,
Has met success at home never accorded to any other proprietary
medicine. It has successfully combated the strongest competition,
and by its superior merit to-day commands the largest sale and
the greatest confidence wherever it has been introduced. It is a
skillfully prepared compound, concentrated extract by a process
peculiarly our own, of the best remedies of the vegetable kingdom
known to medical science as Alternatives, Blood Purifiers,
Diuretics, Tonics and Stomachics. These articles have been used for
years, and their medicinal value is appreciated by every mother in
the land. Time and constant use have proved their efficacy beyond a
question. The wonderful results from the use of Hood’s Sarsaparilla
prove more than we have ever claimed for it.
C. W. CUMMINGS, a popular merchant of Meriden, N.H., writes:
“I have sold Hood’s Sarsaparilla for two years, and have used
it myself with wonderful results. Say all you can in praise of
this valuable remedy, the medicine will _back_ it.”
“I have never found anything that hit my wants as Hood’s
Sarsaparilla. It tones up my system, purifies my blood,
sharpens my appetite, and seems to make me all over.” J. P.
THOMPSON, Register of Deeds, Lowell, Mass.

N.Y. WITNESS.
☞ There will be many important events occurring during the coming
year that you will not know about unless you take the WITNESS. Do
you know now, for instance, that a sober and Christian young man,
a private soldier of the U. S. Army, has been thrown into prison
and subjected to great privations and indignities by his superior
officers——treated worse than the miserable wretch Guiteau——for
writing a letter to the WITNESS——a letter which is of great
importance to all young men and all parents? There are many things
published in the WITNESS that other papers dare not print, for fear
of offending some rich and powerful corporation, and so losing
their patronage.
The price of the WITNESS is $1.50
a year, post-paid; club price,
five for $6.00. Sample
copy sent free.
Ministers, Missionaries, Evangelists of all Denominations, and
Teachers can have the WITNESS for One Dollar a year.

THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION.
* * * * *
AIM AND WORK.
To preach the Gospel to the poor. It originated in a sympathy with
the almost friendless slaves. Since Emancipation it has devoted its
main efforts to preparing the FREEDMEN for their duties as citizens
and Christians in America, and as missionaries in Africa. As
closely related to this, it seeks to benefit the caste-persecuted
CHINESE in America, and to co-operate with the Government in its
humane and Christian policy toward the INDIANS. It has also a
mission in AFRICA.

WANTS.
1. A steady INCREASE of regular income to keep pace with the
growing work. This increase can only be reached by _regular_ and
_larger_ contributions from the churches, the feeble as well as the
strong.
2. ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS for our higher educational institutions, to
accommodate the increasing numbers of students; MEETING HOUSES for
the new churches we are organizing; MORE MINISTERS, cultured and
pious, for these churches.
3. HELP FOR YOUNG MEN, to be educated as ministers here and
missionaries to Africa——a pressing want.
Before sending boxes, always correspond with the nearest A. M. A.
office as directed on second page cover.
THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY.
We are anxious to put the AMERICAN MISSIONARY on a paying basis. We
intend to make it worth its price, and we ask our patrons to aid us:
1. More of our readers can take pains to send us either the
moderate subscription price (50 cents), or $1.00, naming a friend
to whom we may send a second copy.
2. A special friend in each church can secure subscribers at
club-rates (12 copies for $5 or 25 copies for $10).
3. Business men can benefit themselves by advertising in a
periodical that has a circulation of 20,000 copies monthly and that
goes to many of the best men and families in the land. Will not our
friends aid us to make this plan a success?
We nevertheless renew the offer hitherto made, that the MISSIONARY
will be sent gratuitously, if desired, to the Missionaries of
the Association; to Life Members; to all Clergymen who take
up collections for the Association; to Superintendents of
Sabbath-schools; to College Libraries; to Theological Seminaries;
to Societies of Inquiry on Missions; and to every donor who does
not prefer to take it as a subscriber, and contributes in a year
not less than five dollars.
Subscriptions and advertisements should be sent to H. W. HUBBARD,
Treasurer, 56 Reade street, New York, N.Y.
