■ ■ ■ CHKISTIAN 14 - ■ A FEW PLAIN FACTS FOB THE CONSIDERATION OF ALL re co&- GREGATIONAL SINGING. There are four questions of preeminent im portance in the selection of a hymn-book for the use of a congregation : 1. I ts E xcellence .—This is first in impor tance, and can only be properly determined by those who aro not only skilled in music, but who make it their business to drill congrega tions in music. We have two brethren who have been conspicuous in this work for years. old Christian Hymnal, and the author of a superior book of anthems, has devoted himself to congregational music for the last ten years. Bro. J. IL R osecbans , author of many musical works of great popularity, has made congrega tional music his specialty, and neyer fails to arouse great enthusiasm in its perfection where Book" the lest lxx»k for congregational use they have ever seen. This unequivocal endorsement is confirmed by many other eminent teachers, - but to add to such authority would be ueseless. This book is declared the most perfectly adapted to congregational singing that can lie procured anywhero. 2. T he S kill ano E nterprise of thr P ub lishers .— The importance of this point, too often overlooked, will bo seen on a moment’s reflection. If the publishers are musicians, who ara alive to all improvements in the publication of music ; who rre in close communication with tiio teachers and writers Of music ; and whose success depends solely on the name they make for themselves as publishers, it is evident that the wants of the people and the churches will be more fully met than where the publishers .have butA.Jiide it'erasLin music..>ua have no rach —incentive to perf e ct their work, especially where they do not own the plates and copyrights. The plain proof of this is to be seen in the splendid Series ofplates which have l>een madeto adaptthe ‘•Now Christian llymn and Tune-Book” to every want of the congregations. Before the book was a month okl, títere was a demand for an edition for choirs and ringing-schools. The publishers instantly appreciated its importance^ and have issued a magnificent edition, with rudiments and anthems, to meet this want. An urgent— but very limited—demand arose for a large print edition, for those of infirm sight. The «T-mand was promptly met, and now, although theyfiiave the r-’-srt perfect series ever offered to, tl!fi_fiOTjg)-pgath>ns, tliev have other editions inf view, to meet special demands. This series of - books is tlieir pride, and a source of honorable, lifelong ambition. How different where there G nnlv n temporary and mercenary interest in the publication! 3. T iik G eneral U se of the B ook .—Tt is a very important matter whether the book to be chosen is in general use or not. We are happy to bo able to say that the sale of the “ New Christian Hymn and Time-Book,” since its in troduction last August, has l>een—in the teeth of an opposition acknowledged by its most frantic enemies to have been almost unanimous on the part of the press—fifty per cent, greater than that of the l>ook which these papers all ad vocated. This fact, in favor of a book pushed solely on its merits, tells the whole story. A book that outsells another of acknowledged merit by fifty per cent, when almost the entire press is combined in strenuous support of the n >ok outsold, is a book that it will do to adopt. Witkin six months, from Cincinnati alone we supplied more than 350 churches, not to men tion the large number supplied from St. Louis and other cities. It is In use in mere than 100 congregations in Ohio; in more thau 75 in In diana : in Illinois more than 40 congregations have been supplied from Cincinnati, and manv more from St. Louis, while numerous orden» have been shipped to every State. 30,000copies are in use. in more than ¿00 churches. So far as r.ipi 1 and general adoption is concerned, no book can equal it. 4. C heapness .—There is no book, of similar r"T¡Tcn-'e ntmirtre, thxt presumes to compete v.itli the prices of the “ New Christian- Hymn and Tuny-Book.” Not to mention the fact that the low prices at which other books can now be had is due solely to the low price of this, it is a fact that the only books that make the slightest approach to these prieos, while they have only 5 por. ocnt. moro hymns, are sold at prices from 25 to 30 per cent. liighcr. This I took is, then, from 20 10 25 per cent. cheaj>er than Any other ^b»tok i« tlie market. And this fact alone, when we consider that some 5.000 or 6,00) churches miw be supplied with books, is an immense ar gument in its favor. If fio more than two dozen boots are sold to each church, it makes • differ ence of $1.2,00-)! The demand for cheap books is n * trilling matter. This book has been pre- pu-iiou the motto: “Good enough for any; cheap enough for all.” W j have thus shown that four of the most im- / -■ >1 :.ud con. id.o ations ¡»tint to the ‘New Cliris- ' 1- ll> inn an l Tune-Book” as tl<e book for gen- ♦ r.ii aloption. A book that is pronounced the bf> hv the most competent judges ; that has the proinisu of every possible improvement in the f.dine: that has had the widest and most popu lar l ivor, in spite of the frantic exertions of the press; and that, finally, is from 20 to 25 por cent, cheaper than anv other book whatever, is a book that can be adopted with all safety.
