SKIN HUMORS
CAN BE CURED BY
GLENN’S SULPHUR SOAP.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16, 1883.
_Mr. C. N. Crittenton_:
DEAR SIR: I wish to call your attention to the good your Sulphur
Soap has done me. For nearly fourteen years I have been troubled
with a skin humor resembling salt rheum. I have spent nearly a
small fortune for doctors and medicine, but with only temporary
relief. I commenced using your “Glenn’s Sulphur Soap” nearly two
years ago—=used it in baths and as a toilet soap daily=. =My skin
is now as clear as an infant’s, and no one would be able to tell
that I ever had a skin complaint.= I would not be without the soap
if it cost five times the amount.
Yours respectfully.
M. H. MORRIS.
LICK HOUSE, San Francisco, Cal.
The above testimonial is indisputable evidence that Glenn’s Sulphur
Soap will eliminate poisonous skin Diseases WHEN ALL OTHER MEANS
HAVE FAILED. To this fact thousands have testified; and that it
will banish lesser afflictions, such as common PIMPLES, ERUPTIONS
and SORES, and keep the skin clear and beautiful, is absolutely
certain. For this reason ladies whose complexions have been
improved by the use of this soap NOW MAKE IT A CONSTANT TOILET
APPENDAGE. The genuine always bears the name of C. N. CRITTENTON,
115 Fulton Street, New York, sole proprietor. For sale by all
druggists or mailed to any address on receipt of 30 cents in
stamps, or three cakes for 75 cents.

THE PSALTER,
For Responsive Reading in Public Worship.
BY REV. R. S. STORRS, D.D.,
Pastor of the Church of the Pilgrims, Brooklyn, N.Y.
In addition to the collection of Psalms, this Psalter contains
selections, not only from the Messianic prophets, but from the
poetry of the Books of Job, from the Proverbs, from Ecclesiastes,
and one or two from the Book of Revelations. The following order of
arrangement has been adopted, viz.:
THE PSALMS.
I.—The Preparation of the Spirit for Divine Worship. II.—The
worship of God for His goodness and majesty. III.—The worship
of God for the Kingship of His Son. IV.—The worship of God as
defender of His people. V.—The worship of God as Judge on the
earth. VII.—The worship of God for the teaching of His Word.
VII.—Supplication to God for deliverance and favor.
OTHER SELECTIONS.
VIII.—Praise to God for His greatness. IX.—God’s purposes
concerning Christ and the Church. X.—The briefness of man’s life.
XI.—The excellence of wisdom. XII.—The glory of the heavenly life.
This edition of the Psalter has been awaited with much interest,
and the knowledge that Dr. Storrs was engaged upon it has given
general satisfaction. The previous work has had a successful life,
having been instrumental, as the pioneer Psalter, in awakening
widespread interest in responsive reading. There were necessarily
some changes to be made in that edition which long use and
experience have suggested. More changes are made in this edition,
and we now have such a Psalter as will fully meet the requirements
of all non-Episcopal churches. It is needless to say that Dr.
Storrs is more eminently fitted to the work of preparing the
Psalter than most men, and the work will undoubtedly be accepted as
the general standard.
The work is furnished for introduction at low rates. Churches using
the old edition may exchange for the new on favorable terms.
A specimen copy will be sent, postpaid, for examination, to any
address, on receipt of 75 cents. Address the publishers.
DR. JOSEPH P. HOLBROOK
is by general consent in the front rank to-day of composers
of church music. He is the Musical Editor of “The Songs for
the Church,” “Songs for the Sanctuary,” “Baptist Praise Book,”
“Methodist Hymnal,” “Part Songs,” “Quartet and Chorus Choir,” etc.,
etc.
Holbrook’s tunes have thus become wedded to many, if not most, of
the acceptable hymns now sung. Compilers of hymn and tune books
are eager to secure these tunes, as they find that no book can be
said to be complete without them. Many of Holbrook’s latest tunes
are, however, the best he has made, and he has recently issued a
new book embodying them all, together with a fine collection of the
best English and American tunes. The
Worship in Song
contains 700 choice hymns and 500 tunes. In the selection of
hymns Dr. Holbrook has had the colaboration of several eminent
hymnologists, and on account of them alone the book will be found
to be the most acceptable yet published.
The book has been adopted by Presbyterian and Congregational
churches east and west, and adds greatly to the interest in the
worship wherever used. A prominent clergyman in Connecticut says:
“I am much interested in Mr. Holbrook’s book. We use it daily and
enjoy it. I have always thought the success of ‘Songs for the
Sanctuary’ was more due to the musical editing than to anything
else.”
For specimen copies, price post-paid $1.25, which may be returned
after examination, if desired. Address the publishers.

The Evangelical Hymnal,

Editor of “The Hymnary.”
This book contains approved versions of
Six Hundred Excellent Hymns,
with tunes by the most celebrated composers of ancient and modern
times.
The adaptations of tunes to hymns have been made with a special
reference to a higher standard of ecclesiastical music than may be
found in any other American Hymnal.
The Biographical Index contains brief but comprehensive notices of
authors, translators and composers, and much valuable biographical
information is printed at the heading of each hymn and in frequent
foot notes.
Examination Price, Postpaid, $1.75.
[Illustration] Specimen pages free to any address. A copy of the
work itself will be sent to any pastor or committee desiring to
examine it to be returned if not adopted.
