"THE THREE ANGELS OF REV. XIV, 6-12," by J. N. Andrews. A portion of this Work has been published in the REVIEW. The cause has long suffered for a Work of this kind. We are happy to inform our readers that it will be ready for delivery in about one week. It will contain five engravings, and probably 132 pages, neatly put up in paper covers. If this shall be the size, the price will be $9 per 100, 12½ cts. a copy.
"HYMNS FOR THOSE WHO KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, AND THE FAITH OF JESUS." This is the title of our New Hymn Book, which will probably be ready for delivery from the 10th to the 20th of April. It will probably contain 336 pages, instead of 320, as we have before stated; and about 75 pieces of music, instead of 50, as before stated.
The Hymns contained on the first 171 pages, are arranged under the following subjects:—Public Worship—Holy Scriptures—The Law of God—The Sabbath—Repentance—Faith—Baptism—The Lord's Supper—The Sleep of the Saints—First Resurrection—Second Advent—Waiting for Christ—The Judgment—The Kingdom of God—Christian Fellowship—Christian Holiness—Christian Warfare—Watchfulness and Prayer—Family Devotions.
The remainder is Miscellaneous, with a piece of music commencing with nearly every left-hand page, while the right-hand page contains hymn, or hymns, of the same meter, appropriate to the music.
Bro. J. N. Loughborough says:—"I have examined 224 pp. of the New Hymn Book, and judge, from the perusal I have given it, that the Hymns are such as the remnant may sing in the Spirit. The Music is what is needed to promote order and harmony in singing. The arrangement of Hymns under different and appropriate subjects I consider excellent."
It has been a work of great labor and care to compile this Book; and we have felt that we were engaged in a very important work, as singing is an important part of the worship of God, and has a powerful influence in moulding the character and spirit of worship. It has been our object to select and prepare those Hymns which express Bible sentiments; hymns of real merit, and spirit, and at the same time reject those which have a tendency to irreverence, and lightness. We have no expectation that the Book will fully suit all. A few have expressed their disapproval of inserting music, while a score to one such have urged us to insert it. We have done in this matter what we thought was our duty, and commend the Book to the Church of God, humbly hoping that it may be blest of Heaven to their present and eternal good.
The binding of the New Hymn Book will be plain, neat and firm. Price 62½ cts. single copy.—Postage 8 cts.—twelve copies, $6; $47 per 100.
