My Dear Sir: Some months since, after a careful canvass of several books, the Taber nacle parish, of which I am pastor, selected and introduced into our church your "Songs of the Sanctuary." A great deal of interest was felt among us on the question which book shall we take, and consequently the question "How do you like the New Books," has been equally interesting. And in respect to the latter ques tion the answer is uniformly of one kind. No one could be found, I think, now, who would consent to a change. All are delighted with it. The collection of Hymns suits us very well; but, in respect to the Music, the satisfaction is little less than enthusiasm. Choir and congregation are for once, as one. Minister and people, and the stranger that is occasionally within our gates, alike testify that for our purposes, the tunes are all that could be desired. There are some points about the book that we think more of in practice than we did in making our selection. And one of these is the fact that the adaptation of the hymns to tunes has not disturbed their numerical arrangement, and arrangement by subjects. Instead of saying, as we used, 9th Ps. Long Meter, 9th Pt., or even 9th Hymn, 9th Book or Page, a single announcement, with hymn, is sufficient: and if a hymn upon a given subject is wanted, it is not necessary to turn the whole book over to find it. And another point, which we think more and more of, is the great variety of tunes which we find in your book. We have a capital selection of the familiar and standard tunes. I do not say we have all there are, but a very good number we do have, and beyond this, an exceedingly rich collection of tunes worth hearing and worth learning, and better liked the better learned. Our church music is improving very much, and all classes of the congregation express a growing interest in it. I would say to any of my friends that, whatever may be true of any other book, this is one that is admirable; we think, one that leaves nothing to be desired. But for seeming to criticize other books needlessly, I would speak more strongly in the way of comparison. I believe, if any intelligent and capable committee will examine this book thoroughly, page by page, they will be impressed with its excellence; and if they succeed in introducing it, for choir and congregational, (joint, or for choir singing only,) they will soon come to believe that they have taken the best book. It unites more excellencies than any I know. Very cordially yours, CHAS. RAY PALMER. THE NATIONAL SERIES OF STANDARD SCHOOL-BOOKS. PUBLISHED BY A. S.

THE LOWEST IN PRICE. Have now such great facilities and resources that they undertake to offer not only the best and cheapest instruments in the greatest variety as to capacity and style, from plain to very elegant, but also the lowest priced organs of good quality which can be produced in America. They now manufacture three grades of organs, namely: I. The Mason and Hamlin Cabinet Organs. The Standard of Excellence in their department, acknowledged the best instruments of their general class in the world; winners of over Seventy Highest Premiums in America, and of the First-class Medal at the recent World's Exposition in Paris, in competition with the best makers of all countries. As to the excellence of these instruments, the manufacturers refer with confidence to the musical profession generally, who will, almost with unanimity, testify that they are unequaled. Every one bears on its name-board the trade-mark, "MASON & HAMLIN CABINET ORGAN." Prices fixed aud invariable, $110 to $1,000 each, from which there is no discount to churches or schools. II. The Metropolitan Organs. A new series of organs of great power, fine quality, and much variety of tone. Elegantly and thoroughly made in every particular, and in general excellence second only to the Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organs. Each one has the trade-mark, "METROPOLITAN ORGAN." Prices $130 to $400 each. A liberal discount to churches, clergymen, etc. III. The Mason & Hamlin Portable Organs. Very compact in size; the interior always of the very best quality, but cases quite plain. Each one bears the trade-mark, "MASON & HAMLIN PORTABLE ORGAN." Price $75 to $125 each, fixed and invariable. Valuable Improvement. From this date, (October, 1868,) we shall introduce in several styles of our Cabinet Organs a new and very beautiful invention combining several recent patents. It will be known as The Mason & Hamlin Improved Vox Humana or Fan Tremolo, And excels every other attachment of this general class in the beauty of its effects, the perfect ease with which it is operated, its durability and freedom from liability to get out of order. 1. In connection with the Automatic Swell, (exclusively used in the M. & H. Cabinet Organs,) it produces the nearest approach to the peculiarly sympathetic, rich and attractive quality of a fine human voice yet attained in any reed instrument. 2. It is operated by the ordinary action of the bellows of the instrument, and requires no separate pedal, being played by the same motion, and as easily as an instrument without it. 3. It has no clockwork or machinery, and is entirely free from liability to get out of order, and as durable as the instrument itself.

Highest Award! CROSS OF THE LEGION OF HONOR & GOLD MEDAL, ΤΟ CHICKERING Conclusive Proof of the Highest Award to Chickering & Sons. The following letters have just been received from Paris by Messrs. Chickering & Sons, which clearly and very plainly prove that the Gold Medals at the Paris Exhibition were all alike and of equal value, and that the Cross of the "Legion of Honor" was awarded by a higher power than the Juries, viz., by the Emperor, as a Superior Award" over Medals for the superior merit of the Chickering Pianos: . Copy of a letter from Monsieur Fetis, Member and Reporter of the Jury of the 10th Class of the Exposition Universelle, Paris, 1867: [Translation.] 'MR. CHICKERING, "BRUSSELS, Nov. 19, 1867. Copy of letters from Ambroise Thomas and F. A. Gavaert, Members of the Jury: "GENTLEMEN: "I must tell you that, whatever may be the order in which the names have been inscribed, in each kind of recompense awarded to the 10th Class, the Gold Medal to speak of this oneis the First Medal. There are not two classes of Gold Medals. & SONS. The following letter is the most conclusive and official proof, that any pretension to priority in the classification of the Gold Medals awarded at the Exhibition Universelle is entirely without foundation. This proof comes from the very head of the Administration of the Exposition:"EXPOSITION UNIVERSELLE DE 1867, A PARIS COMMISSARIAT GENERAL, "COMMISSION IMPERIAL, CHAMP DE MARS, PAVILLIAN DU COMMISSARIAT GENERAL, 5th December, 1867. "Sir:- I have received the letter in which you ask me if the Exhibitor, having obtained at the Universal Exposition a same kind of medal, are classified by order of merit in the list of awards, and the Cross of the Legion of Honor must be regarded as having a remunerative the honor to inform you, that the recompenses value superior to that of Grand Prizes. I have of the same denomination are all of equal value, and consequently there is no reason to claim any advantage from the order of inscription of the recipients. "The Decoration of the Legion of Honor, is altogether independent of the Medals, and of the Prizes awarded by the International Jury, and constitutes a recompense of a different order..
