Liquid
Cottage Colors.
The best MIXED PAINTS manufactured. Guaranteed to give perfect satisfaction if properly applied. They are heavy bodied, and for work that does not require an extra heavy coat, they can be thinned (with our Old Fashioned Kettle-boiled Linseed Oil) and still cover better than most of the mixed paints sold in the market, many of which have so little stock in them that they will not give a good solid coat.
Some manufacturers of mixed paints direct NOT to rub out the paint, but to FLOW it on; the reason being that if such stuff were rubbed out there would be but little left to cover, would be transparent. Our Cottage Colors have great strength or body, and, like any good paint, should be worked out well under the brush. The covering property of this paint is so excellent as to allow this to be done. Put up for shipment as follows: In 3-gal. and 5–gal. bailed buckets also barrels; in cans of ⅛, ¼, ½, 1–gal. and 2–gal. each.

Ditson & Co’s Sunday-School Music
ranks with the very best, and no Sunday-school management should adopt a new Singing Book without carefully examining one of their “tried and true” Sunday-School Song Books.
Voices of Praise (40 cts., $4.20 per doz.) Rev. C. L. Hutchins. Music and poetry dignified and classical, but not dull; in fact, bright and enthusiastic. Very large collection for the money.
Singing on the Way (35 cts., $3.60 per doz.) by Mrs. Jewett, ably assisted by Dr. Holbrook, whose noble compositions are known and loved in all the churches. This, like the book above mentioned, does excellently well for a Vestry Singing Book for prayer and praise meetings.
Songs of Promise (35 cts., $3.60 per doz.) J. H. Tenney and Rev. E. A. Hoffman—the first highly gifted, musically, and the second the author of many hymns of refined and beautiful quality. One of the newest books.
Song Worship (35 cts., $3.60 per doz.) L. O. Emerson and W. F. Sherwin, both celebrated compilers, composers and leaders, and the latter well-known as having had charge of the music at many Chautauqua meetings.
For other good books, please send for lists and catalogues.
For a lovely little book for the young children of a Sunday-school, look no further than FRESH FLOWERS (25 cts., $2.40 per doz.), Emma Pitt. Sweet Hymns, Sweet Music, Pretty Pictures.

USE “Our constant aim is to make them the Finest in the World.”
THE NEW HYMN BOOK, by Rev. Drs. Hitchcock. Eddy and Mudge.
Rev. J. S. DICKSON, Pastor Woodland Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, and a rare musician and singer, says: “I have just gone over the ‘Carmina Sanctorum,’ by Rev. Drs. Hitchcock, Eddy and Mudge, and find that it is by all odds the best hymnal I have ever seen.”
Rev. THOS. B. McLEOD, Clinton Avenue Church, Brooklyn. N.Y.—“It satisfies me beyond anything of the kind I have ever seen. Of course, the names of the editors warranted high reputation. But considering the progress made in the direction, and the number of fine Hymn Books recently published, I was not prepared to see a work so eclipsing as this.”
EDWARD H. MERRILL, Pres’t Ripon College.—“The ‘Carmina Sanctorum’ is a superb book in all ways. I advise Churches about to change books to examine this one.”
Rev. PHILIP SCHAFF, D.D.—“It is a model collection.”
Rev. P. T. FARWELL, Stockbridge, Mass.—“The book is a thorough delight.”
E. C. EVANS, St. Paul, Minn.—“It has already contributed not a little to the enriching of the devotional part of our services.”
CONGREGATIONALIST.—“One of the most practically serviceable hymnals which we have seen.”
Hymns and Songs for Social and Sabbath Worship. 75 cts.
“Hits the Golden Mean.”
FOR PRAYER & PRAISE MEETINGS.
SUNDAY SCHOOL TIMES, Philadelphia.—“It is a book of great merit, as might be expected from the character and experience of its editors.”
INDEPENDENT, New York.—“Any congregation that likes to have its hymnal represent careful thought and full culture, would do well to examine this collection of Carmina Sanctorum.”
EVANGELIST, New York.—“The hymns are only the choicest, and they have been carefully edited by that accomplished authority in hymnody, Dr. Hitchcock. As the American Churches have grown in taste and capacity for musical expression in worship, this book seems to meet their wants completely, giving them plenty of tunes they can and will sing, and at the same time educating their taste and improving their public worship.”
PRICE LIST.—Carmina Sanctorum Hymns and Tunes, $1.20. Hymns and Tunes with Scripture Readings, $1.40. Hymns only (Pew Edition), 75c. Hymns only (Pocket Edition), 45c. Chapel Edition, 75c. Chapel Edition, with Scripture Readings, 90c, Scripture Readings (alone) 75c.
