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.
