The New Edition

CHRIST IN SONG

Is Now Ready

As this paper goes to press, we finish sending out the advance orders which were on hand for the new “Christ in Song.” The book is meeting the hearty approval of every one who examines it. The first edition is nearly all sold, and another edition is being printed.

We have purchased the plates and rights for the book in the Seventh-day Adventist denomination; no private individual has any interest in, or receives any profits from, our sales of the book. It is —

The Largest and Best Song-Book Published

Indeed a strong statement, but we believe it to be correct; and we further believe that in view of the present agreements between music writers and publishers, it is not possible for another book to be printed which would contain the musical productions of so large a corps of popular music writers as is found in “Christ in Song.”

All the favorite old songs have been retained in the new edition, and a large number of splendid, soul-stirring new songs have been added. There are such a large number of new compositions that if these had been published as a separate book, it would have sold readily at twenty-five cents a copy.

Old and New Editions Can Be Used Together

There will be no difficulty in using the new edition with the old books, for although the song numbers have been changed, the new edition gives in small figures the old number of each song. For instance, “Wonderful Love,” is No. 245 in the new edition, while in the old edition it is No. 196; therefore both numbers are shown, but not in such a way as to be confusing.

Two Books in One

If only minor revisions or changes had been made, we would not feel justified in asking our people everywhere to buy this new edition; but since we are now practically giving two books in one in this very large and superior collection of music, we feel that no one will regret the purchase of this book, even though he already has a copy of the old edition.

Notwithstanding the large expense in securing the use of these new songs, and notwithstanding the increased size of the book, there has been only a slight increase in price.

PRICES

It was thought when we first announced the new edition that it would contain 544 pages; but we afterward found that it would be necessary to add 32 pages more, in order to include all the old favorites and the new ones as well. So the new book contains 576 pages — nearly 1,000 hymns. The prices are as follows: — Flexible ................$ .45 Cloth .................... .60 Half morocco ............ 1.00
