For beauty of gloss, for saving of toil, For freeness from dust and slowness to soil, And also for cheapness ’tis yet unsurpassed, And thousands of merchants are selling it fast.

Of all imitations ’tis well to beware; The half risen sun every package should bear; For this is the “trade mark” the MORSE BROS. use, And none are permitted the mark to abuse.

NOTES ON CHURCH WORSHIP.

* * * * *

When the Hymn and Tune Book, “Songs for the Sanctuary,” had outgrown its freshness, Mr. Joseph P. Holbrook, the Musical Editor, set about preparing the _Worship in Song_, and after years of labor offered it for publication, and it now stands before the churches. By common consent the general merit of the Songs for the Sanctuary was in the musical editing, and it is safe to say that the mantle that fell from that book dropped upon the shoulders of the Worship in Song. Holbrook’s later and newer book contains the result of his labor and experience through all these years, and his Worship in Song is clearly the greatest improvement that could be made.

In addition to the Hymns and Tunes, the book contains _Dr. R. S. Storrs’ New Psalter_, which has recently been edited and enlarged by Dr. Storrs, and contains also a brief statement by him of the value of responsive reading in churches. The selections of Psalms and Scripture for responsive reading is by far the best that has yet been published for Congregational and Presbyterian purposes, and, as the old edition was widely used, so this will be the standard and the best. The _Worship in Song with Psalter_, by Storrs and Holbrook, is a successful and popular combination.

Another Hymn and Tune Book of very great importance, on account of its giving standard classical music throughout, is Hall & Lasar’s _Evangelical Hymnal_. This book has already been adopted in Harvard College, Trinity College and other institutions, and is being favorably considered by many churches. It is a marked step in advance of all other Hymn and Tune Books, and is the recognized standard of the Church Hymn-book of the near future.

Messrs. A. S. Barnes & Co. have also recently published Prof. Hopkins’ “_Liturgy_, or Book of Common Prayer for Non-Episcopal Churches.” This _Liturgy_ is the result of many years of study, after correspondence and comparison on the part of the author with many leading Protestant clergymen. Upon publication it was received with great interest by clergymen of all denominations, and a large sale immediately began. It is safe to say that no other book presenting a Liturgy for Presbyterian and Congregational Churches was ever received with so great enthusiasm. The sale steadily continues, and the interest awakened is sufficient to make it certain that the plan finds favor. Clergymen and Committees desiring to see and examine copies of any or all of the above books can obtain them on approval, postage prepaid, by addressing the publishers,
