The Song Anchor

Pacific Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association · Oakland, California · Nov 20, 1879

"Song Anchor" appeared, which fully meets the demand. It is a California production, and one of which we may justly feel proud.—Mauvais' Musical Friend, Oakland, Cal.

"THE SONG ANCHOR" has been introduced into over thirty Sabbath-schools in California, where it is giving the best of satisfaction.—Prest. Cal. S. S. Association.

FROM THE EAST.

"THE SONG ANCHOR," foremost among the most deserving candidates for public favor. We have used the "Song Anchor" in the Battle Creek College for a year, and have thus tested its wearing properties. It does not grow old, for it has something for all occasions and for all tastes. He who prefers old pieces of standard merit, will here find some of the best of these. If the fresh and sparkling combinations of the most modern style of composition are sought, they are found in abundance here. We can heartily recommend it to all who wish to buy a book to keep.—U. Smith, Professor of Biblical Literature in Battle Creek College.

I HAVE recently examined the new edition of the Song Anchor, and I find myself much pleased with the new music that has been added to it. It forms now a very desirable book for Sabbath-schools and praise service. The music is largely new, and many of the hymns were written expressly for this book, and both are in such variety as to meet the wants of classes of all ages. C. W. STONE. Eden Mills, Vt., Oct. 9, 1879.

ABOUT six months ago we introduced the SONG ANCHOR in our Sabbath-schools in this State. It has given general satisfaction and elicited high praise from good judges of music. All our schools now use this book exclusively. We also use it in our revival services with the best of effect, as many of the songs are peculiarly adapted to such work. It is worthy of a wide circulation.—D. M. CANRIGHT, Prest. Ohio S. S. Association.

I GLADLY acknowledge the receipt of a copy of the new edition of the SONG ANCHOR. I have no hesitancy in saying that I regard it the best book of the kind ever published.—SMITH SHARP, Prest. Kansas S. S. Association.

I NEVER have known any book to go into use so rapidly, and be so generally liked, as the SONG ANCHOR in Michigan. It is used almost exclusively in the Sabbath-schools, and much in prayer meetings as well as in meetings of public worship.—PROF. G. H. BELL, Prest. Michigan S. S. Association.
