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.

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 on application.

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.

Physicians have Prescribed over Half a Million Packages of

VITALIZED PHOS-PHITES,

And have found this BRAIN AND NERVE FOOD indispensable in the treatment of all Diseases of Debility, and in all Mental or Nervous Disorders.

It restores to the busy, active brain of man or woman the energy and ability that has been lost by disease, worry or overwork. It restores vitality where there has been debility and nervousness, and prevents loss of memory and brain fatigue; it is a regenerator of the tired brain and nerves.

In impaired vitality it restores to the system that which has been wasted in excitement, in abuses, in excessive bodily or mental emotions.

It prevents consumption and other diseases of debility.

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.

STATISTICS.

Churches: In the South——In District of Columbia, 1; Virginia, 1; North Carolina, 6; South Carolina, 2; Georgia, 13; Kentucky, 7; Tennessee, 4; Alabama, 14; Kansas, 1; Arkansas, 1; Louisiana, 18; Mississippi, 4; Texas, 6. Africa, 3. Among the Indians, 1. Total, 82.

Institutions Founded, Fostered or Sustained in the South.——Chartered: Hampton, Va.; Berea, Ky.; Talladega, Ala.; Atlanta, Ga.; Nashville, Tenn.; Tougaloo, Miss.; New Orleans, La., and Austin, Tex.——8. Graded or Normal Schools: Wilmington, N.C.; Charleston, Greenwood, S.C.; Savannah, Macon, Atlanta, Ga.; Montgomery, Mobile, Athens, Selma, Ala.; Memphis, Tenn.——11. Other Schools, 35. Total, 54.

Teachers, Missionaries and Assistants.——Among the Freedmen, 319; among the Chinese, 28; among the Indians, 9; in Africa, 13. Total, 369. Students.——In theology, 104; law, 20; in college course, 91; in other studies, 8,884. Total, 9,108. Scholars taught by former pupils of our schools, estimated at 150,000. Indians under the care of the Association, 13,000.

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.
