The American Missionary — Volume 43, No. 11, November, 1889 eBook

This eBook from the Gutenberg Project consists of approximately 61 pages of information about The American Missionary — Volume 43, No. 11, November, 1889.

“Carmina Sanctorum” contains 746 hymns, 21 doxologies, 43 chants, 450 tunes and 7 separate indexes.  The hymns are only the choicest, and they have been carefully edited by that accomplished authority in hymnody, Dr. Hitchcock, who gives the date and authorship of each hymn and notes all abbreviations and changes in each page.  The responses are selected from the revision and make a complete manual.  The cream of the old [tunes] is all here.  The cream of the new is all here.  As The AMERICAN CHURCHES HAVE GROWN IN TASTE AND CAPACITY FOR MUSICAL EXPRESSION IN WORSHIP, THIS BOOK SEEMS TO MEET THEIR WANTS COMPLETELY, GIVING THEM PLENTY OF TUNES, THEY CAN AND WILL SING, AND AT THE SAME TIME EDUCATING THEIR TASTE AND IMPROVING THEIR PUBLIC WORSHIP.  It is also a pleasant feature that when new tunes are furnished to certain hymns, the more familiar ones will be found on the same page.  To all this may be added that four editions are published, two with music and two without, and they are all cheap.—­The New York Evangelist.
