their thanks to the author, and their wishes that the discourses might
soon be given to the public. Such an author in such a presence and with
such a theme, may well be supposed to have presented whatever is
interesting and valuable on a subject of such vast importance to
Christian families and the Christian church. We commend the book most
cordially.


_Cooking and Sewing Songs and Recitations for Industrial and Mission
Schools._ Edited by MRS. J.R. ROMER. J.W. Schermerhorn & Co., New York.

Of a very different style and size from the book above noticed is this
little neatly-printed pamphlet with flexible covers, occupying sixty-six
pages, of songs, to be used by pupils in connection with their
industrial labors. They are vivacious, pithy, adapted to the purpose in
hand, and doubtless would cheer and brighten many an hour that might
otherwise pass in the humdrum of an unrelieved toil, and at the same
time impress upon the memory and heart a good deal of salutary truth.

_The Songs of Praise_ with tunes. Published by A.S. Barnes & Co., New
York and Chicago.

Contains 500 choice Hymns with music well adapted to meet the
requirements of social worship. Such churches as do not desire a larger
collection will find this an excellent book of social song.
