Songs of Worship. Just issued. Edited by Prof. Waldo S. Pratt. Here is an ideal Sunday-school hymn and tune book, containing only the best music, yet much of it as simple and "taking" as that which filled the books of ten years ago. Songs of Worship" contains a number of new pieces by American composers, Dudley Buck, W. W. Gilchrist, S. P. Warren, J. R. Fairlamb, J. H. Cornell, Joseph Mosenthal, and others, besides the best of what the leading English composers, Sullivan, Barnby, Stainer, Dykes, and others have given to the world. It is a beautiful book of 250 pages, bound in cloth, with illuminated linings. Price, in quantities, 35 cents. A single sample copy sent to any address, for examination, at quantity price.

Spiritual Songs for the Sunday-School. One of the most popular Sunday-school books ever issued,- 160,000 copies already sold. Edited by the Rev. Dr. Robinson. "I commend this singing-book without hesitation or reserve to all Sunday-schools." — The Rev. J. H. Vincent, D. D. The page is square in shape; the paper tinted; the cover of red cloth; the cover-linings illuminated; and the binding strong and durable. An edition in paper-covered boards for those who prefer a cheaper book. Prices, 30 and 25 cents, according to the edition.

Books for Responsive Services.

Aids to Common Worship. Compiled by the Rev. Richard G. Greene. As its name indicates, this book is offered as an aid to worship, and to that worship which is common to all who meet together in the Lord's house-to pastor, people, and choir. As stated in the preface," there is a rising call for aids in public Divine worship beyond those supplied by hymn books-those liturgies only of song." It is certain, however, that the suggestion of any uniform and unvarying service for all would not meet the present demand. The conviction is spreading that the congregation is not brought into proper activity in prayer and praise; that worship has not its rightful place; that methods at first accepted almost by accident have become established in an unwritten liturgy. The aim of this service is to gather and assign, on a yearly or a monthly calendar, a reasonably full and balanced presentation of those portions of the Holy Scripture that are best fitted for public worship and instruction-to bring all the congregation into common worship. The volume contains a service for each Sunday and such other days as Thanksgiving, etc. The musical portions of the book (prepared by Prof. Waldo S. Pratt, of the Hartford Theological Seminary) will be found of great value to conductors of church music. The book is of the highest service to every pastor, whether adopted for use in his congregation or not. 8vo, 413 pages, cloth. At retail, $2.00. A single copy to a pastor, $1.50, postage paid.

Selections for Responsive Readings. A topical arrangement of the Scriptures, prepared by the Rev. Dr. Robinson, containing chapters from the Psalms, Isaiah, and other parts of the Bible especially adapted to this purpose. "Churches in search of some collection to be used responsively cannot go amiss in choosing this one." —Rev. Dr. Noble, of Chicago.

The Psalter. This selection has been used for many years and with constantly increasing satisfaction. It differs from the last named in arrangement and in selection. The price of each is the same, 25 cents in quantities.

Send for further particulars, testimonials, prices, etc. Most of the hymn and tune books have editions containing the hymns only, and all are sold to churches at as low a price as can possibly be afforded. We bind the last two responsive reading selections with hymn and tune books. Pastors or church-members desiring a hymn book for any branch of the service, should address The Century Co.

obtained with a view to rounding out the narrative of the war so as to include the chief military events of the great struggle in a consecutive narrative.

Except the "Official Records of the Rebellion," to which the editors have constant recourse (a work which can never be popular by reason of its style and bulk), this history is sure to be, by reason of the prominence and authority of the contributors, the most important, as it will be the most widely read and

Most Interesting Record of the War.

These pictures have been made, in chief part, from war-time photographs and drawings.

THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, published by We cannot too strongly urge upon Co., New York, is the most practically the great patent agency firm of Munn & our readers the necessity of subscrib- useful publication of its kind in the couning for a family weekly newspaper of try. Indeed, it occupies a field distinctively its own. Not alone for the machinist, the first class-such, for instance, as manufacturer, or scientist, but it is a jourTHE INDEPENDENT, of New York. Were we obliged to select one publication for habitual and careful reading to the exclusion of all others, we should choose unhesitatingly THE INDEPENDENT. It is a newspaper, magazine, and review, all in one. It is a religious, a literary, an educational, a story, an art, a scientific, an agricultural, a financial, and a political paper combined. It has 32 folio pages and 21 departments. No matter what a person's religion, politics, or profession may be, no matter what the age, sex, employment, or condition may be, THE INDEPENDENT will prove a help, an instructor, an educator. Our readers can do no less than to send a postal for a free specimen copy, or for thirty cents the paper will be sent a month, enabling one to judge of its merits more critically. Its yearly subscrip- Silk tion is $3.00, or two years for $5.00. Those who desire to subscribe for The American Agriculturist as well as THE INDEPENDENT cannot make a better bargain than by accepting THE INDEPENDENT's offer to send both papers for one year for the sum of $3.75. Each subscriber will thus save seventy-five cents on the two papers.
