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-
