Sabbath Schools and all Religious Services.
THREE BOOKS IN ONE:—A Church Hymnal, a Young People’s Society Hymnal, a Sabbath School Hymnal. 30,000 printed in first few months.
“I very seldom give my opinion; but your work covers so much it would be as good as the regular church hymn book, and it has such a variety, too. I am very much pleased with it. God bless you and the book, is my prayer.”—WM. G. FISCHER. (Composer of “I Love to Tell the Story,” “I am Coming to the Cross,” “Whiter than Snow,” in this book.) “O, K! Yes, more than O.K. CHRIST IN SONG is far above the average song book of its class. Its admirable selections of the cream of the old, and its good abundance of the new, make it an unique and superior hymnal. It should have a long and large sale.”—J. H. TENNEY. (Composer of “We’ll Never Say Good-by,” and “Draw Me Closer,” both in this collection.) “You ought to receive thanks from the public for this addition to Christian song. It is a great collection.”—WILL S. THOMPSON. (Author and composer of “Come Where the Lilies Bloom,” “Softly and Tenderly Jesus is Calling,” etc., etc.) “It is comprehensive in contents, and handsomely gotten up.”—FREDERIC W. ROOT. (Composer, director, and voice teacher.) “It is the best thing of its kind I have ever seen. Our children are delighted with it. I looked over some of your new hymns and tunes and like them very much.”—DR. J. H. KELLOGG. “Am very favorably impressed with it. I particularly like its arrangement, which is something out of the ordinary.”—EBEN E. REXFORD. (Author of “Silver Threads Among the Gold,” “Where Are the Reapers,” etc., etc.) “I am compelled to say that you have in this modest-looking book a perfect multum in parvo. It is a perfect eye-opener, and when used, will be an ear-opener, and I trust a heart-opener. How seven hundred pieces of music were crowded into one book, the size of this, is a wonder indeed. I notice that it contains many of the old favorites as well as a goodly number of modern ones.”—T. MARTIN TOWNE. (Composer and Musical Editor for David C. Cook Pub. Co.) “It is a very superior book, and I am sure it will be useful and popular. There is an enormous amount of valuable matter in it, and yet the pages are clear and easily read.”—J. E. RANKIN. (Author of “God Be with You Till We Meet Again,” in “Christ in Song.”) “You have a whole library of music in it.”—ASA HULL. (Composer of “Remember Me,” and publisher of numerous music books.) “Christ in Song” is a veritable multum in parvo of S. S. music. I congratulate you on your success.”—T. C. O’KANE. (Composer of “Sweeping Through the Gates,” “I Bring My Sins to Thee,” “On Jordan’s Stormy Banks,” etc., in this compilation.) “I have examined [advance proofs of] your songs, and they seem to me of a kind to catch the popular ear. The musical work is decidedly above the average.”—GEO. F. ROOT. (Composer of “Shining Shore,” “When He Cometh to Make Up His Jewels,” “Where Are the Reapers?” “In the Silent Midnight Watches,” etc., in “Christ in Song.”) “For the size, it contains more music than any book I ever saw.”—GEO. B. HOLSINGER. (Gospel music editor and composer.) “A most excellent hymn book for Sunday Schools. It should have a large sale and accomplish much good.”—WARREN W. BENTLY. (Gospel singer and composer.) “Christ in Song” is a hymnal containing over 700 best hymns and sacred songs, new and old, in 400 pages, arranged in four departments—Invitation and Repentance; Consecration and Praise; Work and Trust; Home and Heaven. This is a good book. We notice many favorite pieces of bygone years, along with the new. Mr. Belden is an author of ability and judgment.”—J. J. FILLMORE. (Publisher “Musical Messenger,” “The Choir,” and gospel song books. Composer of “How I Wish I Knew,” “Master, Hast Thou Work for Me,” “Only Waiting,” in “Christ in Song.”) “Trust it will be a very great success both musically and financially; it is quite a novelty in a book making.”—W. H. DOANE. (Composer of “Safe in the Arms of Jesus,” “Pass Me Not,” “Near the Cross,” “Tho’ your Sins be as Scarlet,” “Sabbath Home,” “Strike for Victory,” “Keep Stepping On,” “More Like Jesus,” “Precious Name,” “Tell Me the Old, Old Story,” “I’ve Tried to Come,” “More Love to Thee,” “Rescue the Perishing,” “Stand on the Rock,” “Some Sweet Day By-and-By,” all of which are in this collection.) “Very much pleased with it.”—MRS. L. E. SWENEY, widow of Jno. R. Sweeney, composer of “Sunshine in the Soul,” “My Saviour First of all,” “How Shall We Stand in the Judgment,” “Washed White as Snow,” “Beulah Land,” “Till We Meet Now,” all of which are in this collection. “I like the swing of your music and the ring of your words.”—JAMES MCGRAHAN. (Popular gospel music composer.) “A fine collection of precious hymns. I like the idea of the ‘Morning Band.’”—MISS E. E. HEWITT. (Author of “Sunshine in the Soul,” and “Beautiful Robes,” in this collection.) “It is a grand book, all in all, for the S. S. work.”—EMMA PITT. (Author and composer.) “Your arrangement of the different subjects is excellent, and the book seems complete in all its details.”—L. O. EMERSON. (Composer, editor, and author of numerous books for Oliver Ditson Co.) “A superb collection.”—W. T. GIFFE. (Composer, and editor of “Home Music Journal.”) “Christ in Song” is the most magnificent work of the kind that I have had the pleasure of examining; it seems to be the very acme of excellence.”—E. E. LATTA. (Author of many hymns, including “Blessed be the Fountain,” and others in this collection.) “A most excellent book. To say I am delighted with it is putting it mildly. May the Lord bless its use in the world. It surely will have a large sale.”—W. S. WEEDEN. (Evangelist and popular gospel composer.) “An unusually large and fine collection.”—MARGARET C. BROWN. (Editor and composer.) “Christ in Song Hymnal” is the best book that I have seen for Sabbath-schools and general religious use. Its 400 pages and 700 numbers embrace an abundant variety for persons of all ages. In addition to about 350 songs of the grade most popular in the Sabbath-school and gospel meeting, the book contains about 350 of the best standard hymns and tunes, among which are some excellent arrangements of themes from the masters. It is really two books at the price of one, the elements of a church hymnal adding greatly to its value as a collection for the Sabbath-school and the gospel meeting.”—EDWIN BARNES, A. C. M. “I am sure your book will be a success. It contains a great many beautiful things.”—FANNY J. CROSBY. (Author of numerous popular hymns, eighteen of which are in “Christ in Song,” including “Pass Me Not,” “Blessed Assurance,” “Safe in the Arms of Jesus,” “Redeemed,” “Don’t Forget the Sabbath,” “Near the Cross,” “Keep Stepping,” “Rescue the Perishing,” “Toiling On,” “My Saviour First of All,” “Some Sweet Day By-and-By,” etc.) Complete, compact, durable. Contains the cream from many books of sacred song, besides over 125 new compositions. Charming child-songs in abundance.
