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.
