judicious”––Rev. HOWARD CROSBY, D. D.
III.

The Rev. GEO. F. MAGOUN, D. D., President of Iowa College, says “The
‘Hymns and Songs for Social Worship’ is much the best for use in
devotional Church meetings that I know. It was introduced at Grinnell
by my suggestion, and proves every way admirable and acceptable. While
it is richer and fuller than other hymn and tune books designed for the
same purpose, the choices of old favorites is very fine and generously
large, and that of new and lighter ones (both words and melodies) is
not too lavish or beyond the limits of good taste. _It hits the golden
mean._”
⁂ Churches would do well to furnish themselves with a supply of each of
these books. They contain many tunes peculiar to themselves with hymns
that are familiar. They would admirably supplement the hymn books in
use.

MASON & HAMLIN
IMPROVED
UPRIGHT PIANOS
With their Improved Method of Stringing.
PATENTED JULY 24, 1883.
CHARACTERIZED BY
BRIGHTEST, PUREST TONES, GREATEST DURABILITY,
IMPROVED METHOD OF STRINGING.
The Strings being directly secured to the iron frame by metal
fastenings will not require tuning one-quarter as often as Pianos on
the old system.
This new mode of piano construction, invented by Mason & Hamlin in
1882, has been fully proved, many excellent experts pronouncing it the
“greatest improvement made in pianos of the century.”
WARRANT.––_Each piano will be accompanied by the fullest warrant.
Determined to achieve the very highest reputation for their
pianofortes, should defect develop itself in any one, the Company will
be more eager to correct it than the purchaser can be to have them._
Pianos can be rented, if preferred, at moderate cost, with privilege of
purchase.

“THE BEST HYMN AND TUNE BOOK FOR CHOIR AND CONGREGATIONAL USE”
––IS––
SONGS OF CHRISTIAN PRAISE.
Published with or without SCRIPTURE SELECTIONS for RESPONSIVE READING.
Edited by REV. CHARLES H. RICHARDS, D.D.
The =“Congregationalist”= says: “It has been compiled with a
discriminating wisdom and taste, and edited with a thoroughness, which
are uncommon.”

service-book is probably not surpassed by any other in the language.”
=Rev. L. H. Cobb, D.D.=, of New York, says: “I have examined it
carefully and thoroughly, and shall be happy to recommend it to our
churches.”
From =Rev. Geo. M. Boynton=, Pastor Congregational Church, Jamaica
Plain, Boston, Mass.: “We have been using ‘Songs of Christian Praise’
for six months, with great pleasure and profit. Both the hymns and
tunes have impressed our people very favorably. There is an excellent
variety in the book, so that it is possible to find a classical,
a popular, or a familiar melody for the expression of almost any
sentiment appropriate to Christian worship.”
=Rev. Geo. L. Spining, D.D.=, Pastor Woodlawn Ave. Pres. Church,
Cleveland, Ohio, says: “It is the best I have ever seen.”

now before the public of which I have knowledge, THE BEST.”

worship.”

unanimous in its favor, and enjoy it more and more.”
=Rev. T. M. Monroe=, of Akron, Ohio, says: “The book grows upon us, and
we heartily commend it.”
=Rev. W. H. Thomas=, Leavenworth, Kan., says: “It is just what we
wanted, and has given perfect satisfaction.”
=Rev. M. M. Dana, D.D.=, St. Paul, Minn., says: “For freshness, taste
and adaptedness to congregational purposes, I think this book is
without any superior.”

Philadelphia, Pa.: “I look upon it as the BEST BOOK before the public
for service in both prayer-meeting and Sunday-school.”
From the =“Congregationalist,”= Boston: “Dr. Richards’s name is enough
to warrant its quality, and examination confirms one’s anticipations of
its merits.”
From the =“Illustrated Christian Weekly,”= New York: “The best book for
its purpose that we have yet seen.”
From =Rev. Judson Titsworth=, Milwaukee, Wis.: “We like it better and
better, and are not in the least happy in the thought that we have only
begun to know it. We like it equally well in the prayer-meeting.”
From =“The Independent,”= New York: “The Rev. Dr. Richards’s ‘Songs
of Praise and Prayer’ may safely be pronounced not only THE BEST YET
PUBLISHED, but a very close approach to the ideal manual, particularly
for the Sunday-school.”
Returnable copies sent free to pastors or church committees desiring
