We recommend them. for the rendering of all sacred music, and also as an indispensable auxiliary of the piano-forte in the drawing room."-SAINT SAENS, BATISTE, DURAND, HOCHMELLE, most distinguished Organists of Paris. For sacred music no other instrument of moderate size approaches them in value. "Their tone is remarkably pure and free from reediness, and their touch all that could be desired."— J. STAINER, Mus. Doc., Organist of St. Paul's Cathedral, London. "Their beauty of tone, as well as thorough workmanship, have not been excelled; indeed, I believe have not been approached, by any other maker."- RUDOLPH BIBL, Vienna, Organist of the largest Cathedral in Austria. For every variety of secular Music they are admirably fitted. "They richly deserve the warm expressions of praise which have been bestowed on them. I know of no similar instrument anywhere at all comparable to them."-JOHANN STRAUSs, the distinguished Vienna composer and leader, author of Strauss' Waltzes, etc. In accompanying vocal music they are especially admirable. "Express my very favorable opinion of the charms of this instrument, the tones of which, both delicate and full, combine so well with the voice." - CH. GOUNOD, composer of "Faust." A distinctive excellence is their superior quality of tone. "Their fine quality of tone is in contrast to that of other reed instruments."-OLE BULL. "Their great superiority in quality of tone to all other instruments of the class is obvious to every cultivated ear. We have not heard such pure musical tones from any other reed instrument, either of American or European manufacture."-CLARA LOUISE KELLOGG, ADELAIDE PHILLIPS, and twenty-five other artists of the Opera. They are capable of great variety of musical effect. "Now that you have added to your long and varied list of Cabinet Organs the superb orchestral instrument, with percussion, expression, and every variety of combination to produce the most charming and artistic effects, the resources of your establishment leave nothing to desire on the part of the public and musical profession."-GEORGE WILLIAM WARREN, Organist St. Thomas' Church, New York. They are extraordinarily durable and reliable; adapted to use in most trying climates. "At the numerous Sunday-school Conventions and Institutes which I attend I usually find some reed instrument, good or bad, old or new. The Mason and IIamlin are the sweetest toned, the most manageable, and even when they bear the marks of age, the most reliable and least liable to get out of order."REV. ALFRED TAYLOR, Secretary Philadelphia Sunday-school Association. "Has in every way fulfilled my highest expectations. It traveled all the way from Boston to Asia Minor, without a scratch or bruise; endured the cold and dry climate of that place without the slightest perceptible bad effect; has since traveled one hundred and fifty miles on camel back to this place, without injury, and, while it has been in almost daily use by adults and children, during eight years, has never been out of order, and is apparently just as perfect to-day as when first purchased."- EDWARD RIGGS, Missionary of A.

Will not pastors and other friends of Christ, who should be the friends of missions, assist in the effort to maintain with vigor this magazine? Will they not seek to increase, as far as possible, its circulation by commending it to the families of their several congregations? By doing this they will, in a great variety of ways, help the cause of missions.
