Song Anchor.

A beautiful song book, entitled "The Song Anchor," for Sabbath-schools and praise service, by J. E. White, has been published by the Pacific Press Publishing House, Oakland. It is the finest production of selected and original music in the United States. Among the authors of new music who make Oakland their residence, are D. S. Hakes, Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Morgan, J. E. White, and W. J. Bostwick. F. E. Belden writes some very creditable words. We predict for this work a very large sale. It contains 160 pages. Price 50 cents; $40 per 100.—Golden Gate Sentinel.

This is a new publication—a Sunday School music book of 150 pages—the first work of the kind ever published on the coast. It is published by J. E. White, at the Pacific Press Publishing House, in this city. Its contents and typographical appearance are equal, if not superior, to any musical publication ever issued from any of the large publishing houses at the East. A large minority of the choice contents of this Sunday-school Song Book are original—words and music having been contributed by Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Morgan, W. J. Bostwick, J. E. White, D. S. Hakes and F. E. Belden, all of Oakland. The selected pieces are old favorites, culled from the various music books extant. Every Oaklander, and every one of our Sunday Schools, should encourage this home enterprise by substituting the "Song Anchor" for the foreign works now in use.—Mirror, Oakland.
