[Illustration: THE Rising sun STOVE POLISH]
For beauty of gloss, for saving of toil,
For freeness from dust and slowness to soil,
And also for cheapness ’tis yet unsurpassed,
And thousands of merchants are selling it fast.
Of all imitations ’tis well to beware;
The half risen sun every package should bear;
For this is the “trade mark” the MORSE BROS. use,
And none are permitted the mark to abuse.

NOTES ON CHURCH WORSHIP.
* * * * *
When the Hymn and Tune Book, “Songs for the Sanctuary,” had
outgrown its freshness, Mr. Joseph P. Holbrook, the Musical Editor,
set about preparing the _Worship in Song_, and after years of labor
offered it for publication, and it now stands before the churches.
By common consent the general merit of the Songs for the Sanctuary
was in the musical editing, and it is safe to say that the mantle
that fell from that book dropped upon the shoulders of the Worship
in Song. Holbrook’s later and newer book contains the result of his
labor and experience through all these years, and his Worship in
Song is clearly the greatest improvement that could be made.
In addition to the Hymns and Tunes, the book contains _Dr. R. S.
Storrs’ New Psalter_, which has recently been edited and enlarged
by Dr. Storrs, and contains also a brief statement by him of the
value of responsive reading in churches. The selections of Psalms
and Scripture for responsive reading is by far the best that has
yet been published for Congregational and Presbyterian purposes,
and, as the old edition was widely used, so this will be the
standard and the best. The _Worship in Song with Psalter_, by
Storrs and Holbrook, is a successful and popular combination.
Another Hymn and Tune Book of very great importance, on account
of its giving standard classical music throughout, is Hall &
Lasar’s _Evangelical Hymnal_. This book has already been adopted
in Harvard College, Trinity College and other institutions, and is
being favorably considered by many churches. It is a marked step
in advance of all other Hymn and Tune Books, and is the recognized
standard of the Church Hymn-book of the near future.
