NOT WORTH READING,

If we had written it ourselves. Read what others say.

“I very seldom give my opinion; but your work covers so much it would be 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 hymnary. It should have a long and large sale.”—J. H. TENNEY. (Composer of “We’ll Never Say Good-bye,” 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 L. THOMPSON. (Author and composer of “Come Where the Lilies Bloom,” “Softly and Tenderly Jesus is calling,” etc., etc.)

“You have a large collection of good songs, with some features entirely new in book making.”—HUBERT P. MAIN. (Composer of “We Shall Meet,” and “The Bright Forever,” in this compilation.)

“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 own new hymns and tunes and like them very much.”—DR. J. H. KELLOGG.

“I am very favorably impressed with it, so much so that I wish our church could be prevailed on to adopt it in place of the worn-out old … which it uses for prayer-meeting and social service. 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. H. HANKIN. (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 collection, and author of many Gospel Song Books.)

“I have examined [advance proofs of] your songs, and they seem to me of a kind to catch the popular ear. The music 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 “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. N. 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.”)

“I trust it will be a very great success both musically and financially; it is quite a novelty in book making.”—W. H. DOANE. (Composer of “Safe in the Arms of Jesus,” “Pass Me Not,” “Near the Cross,” “Though Your Sins Be as Scarlet,” “Sabbath Home,” “Strike for Victory,” “Keep Step,” “Toiling On,” “More Like Jesus,” “Precious Name,” “Tell me the old, Old Story,” “I’ll Come to Jesus,” “More Love to Thee,” “Rescue the Perishing,” “Stand on the Rock,” “Some Sweet Day By-and-By,” all of which are in this collection.)

“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 “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.”—GEO. B. LAM? (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.)
