III.
Carmina Sanctorum.
Hymns and Tunes.
The Rev. Roswell D. Hitchcock, D. D., LL. D., } Editors.
The Rev. Zachary Eddy, D. D.,

Hymns and Songs for Social Worship.
Hymns and Tunes.
The Rev. Roswell D. Hitchcock, D. D., } Editors.

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.

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.”
The “New York Observer” says: “It contains everything essential to a Handbook for general worship and special services.”
The “Advance” says: “One of the choicest, richest, and most usable hymn-books published.”
The “Golden Rule,” Boston, Mass., says: “In its musical part, this 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.”
Rev. J. E. Rankin, D.D., says: “The book is a grand one. Certainly the best of its kind I have ever examined.”
Rev. Jas. Powell, D.D., of New York, N. Y., says: “Of all hymn-books now before the public of which I have knowledge, THE BEST.”
Rev. A. Hastings Ross, D.D., Pastor First Congregational Church, Port Huron, Mich., says: “It meets our highest expectations.”

Rev. J. G. Vose, D.D., Providence, R. I., says: “Our people are 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.”

Edited by Rev. CHARLES H. RICHARDS, D.D.

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.”
