TO A FOREST LEAF.
BY JAMES RISTUfE.
Bright little leaf,
Have autumn airs traced on thy brow
The dreams that round the aster glow
Beside yon yellow sheaf?
For now the night
Is coming in on silent wings,
And many a tale of fancy brtngs
To while the void of light.
And as I see "
Thee slumbering on the grassy tomb,
And rising as the zephyrs come
Fr6m o’er the fading lea,
Methiuks, forsooth,
Thou chidest every shivering air
For stealing all thy verdure fair,
And nipping thee in youth.
. But ah! no sighs,
No, moan of sorrow or remorse
Can palliate thy beauty’s loss,
Or light thy faded eyes.
Once thou wert swung
On yonder tree—a quivering lyre,
That trembled to the thunder’s fire,
And with soft music rung.
Now thou art here,
Tramped in the forest’s misty mould,
Drenched in November’s shower, cold
And withered, sad and sere.
But wandering youth
May learn as o’er that path they stray,
How soon life’s sweetest hopes decay
And leave hut care and truth 1
Farin the deep,
Deep wo&ls, where many a lovely flower
Once smiling, looked on summer’s hour,
Ye, withered leaflets, Seep.
Weifd tablets there
To mark the spot where still in shade,
The little germs are lowly laid,
Swept by the chilling air.
But they shall spring
TO life, ’neath far more genial skies,
Where vernal airs shall waking rise,
And buds and blossoms bring.
So from their cells beneath the grassy sod,
The souls of buried ones shall wing to God,
• And bloom before
His hallowed eyes, in holy air,
Freed from the pangs of, sin and care.
Philadelphia, December 6, 1859.
BEAL GENTLY WITH THE LITTLE ONES.
A little child, when ashed why a certain tree grew
crooked, replied: “ Somebody trod upon it, I suppose,
when it was little.”
Me who checks a child with terror,
Stops its play and stills its song,
Not alone commits an error,
But a grievous moral wrong.
Give it play, and never fear it, s
Active life is no defects
Never, never break its spirit;
Curb it only to direct .
Would you stop the flowing river,
Thinking it would cease to flow ?
Onward must it flow forever;
Better teach it where to go.
Translated from the Berman for the American Presby-
ABOTTT THE MONTHS. FEBRUARY.
■When January has come to an end, then begins
the second month- —February. He has only 28
days and is the least among his brother months;
and like little people he seems always straining to
be bigger. For once in four years, it actually
happens—by dint of standing, as you might say,
on tip-toe, he gains one whole day in length, and
numbers 29 days. This is so in the present
year, 1860, which, hence, is called leap-year;
but as for 30'or 31 days he never can reach it;
and as standing on tip-toe is tiresome, he is
obliged to fall back again to 28 days. Little as
he is among his brothers, he does not want for
spirit, and he can make a face as ice-cold as the
long January himself. In his angry moods he
scatters the snow-halls around him most vigor
ously, and he has given many a rogue of a boy
such a settling down upon the ice, as to make it
fairly crack again!
Yet in some years he is much more agreeable,
particularly iu the last few days, before he fakes
his leave. Then it sometimes happens that in
the course of a single night he has swept away
the snow and ice quite clean from hill and valley.
But that puts the roads and streets in very bad
order indeed; hence, they have another name for
February in Germany— Hormmg —which means
the muddy month. Not seldom, a dry wind or
the warm- 'sun comes to help him in the change
of attire, which every one is glad to see. Happy,
too, are the little birds when February clears
away the winter’s snow from the fields; they come
from abroad whither they'have fled to 1 escape the
winter’s cold, and the air'resounds with their joyous
songs again; while the long-legged stork attends
the departing month to his close, and seems to
ohatter t(j him as he goes: “We shall be glad to
see you again next year I”
“ALL YE ARE BRETHREN ”
“Did you notice that new family at church last
Sabbath, Mrs. Ellis?” said her friend, Mrs.
Brown, as they were slowly walking down the
Street together.
“Yes —who are they?”
“ Their name is Merwyn—they have just moved
out from the city, and intend joining our church,
I understand; of course, they are wealthy, as they
have bought the “Carlton Place.”
“Indeed!” said Mrs. Ellis, “I am delighted to
hear that we are to have such an aclditiou—how
it will encourage our good pastor’s heart to have
such people join us! We must call on them im
mediately,”
“Let us go now,” said Mrs. Brown—and, suit
ing.the action to the word, they turned off from
their original destination, and soon reached and.
entered-the spacious' .and beautifully arranged
groundsof the newcomer: “What a lovely place!”
exclaimed Mrs. Ellis, as they stood a moment,
after ringing the bell; “ one ought to be very happy
here!”
At this instant the door opened, and the ladies
were ushered into an elegant apartment, where,
at the time, were seated.two ladies. One of them,
a, tail, dignified, serene-faced woman, arose to re
ceive’ them, as the attendant announced their
names, and gave them a cordial greeting.
“ Of course, you are acquainted with this lady,"
Baid she, turning to the quiet figure at her side—
“ Mrs. Morris.”
' The ladies gave a slight, involuntary start of
surprise, and then acknowledged the introduction
id the coolest manner, as if to one almost beneath
their notice. Mrs. Merwyn looked surprised, but
in a moment she took in the whole scene. These
wflre, doubtless, some of the aristocratic members
of the church, and the poor, but devoted Chris
tian sister was not in their circle at all. Of course,
her attentions were politely devoted to the new
callers for a few moments —but when Mrs. Morris,
as soon as possible, arose to take leave, wishing to
slip quietly out, she arose too, and in the kindest
manner, in which naught of condescension mingled,
thanked her for her call, and begged her to repeat
it.
WhiM this was going on, the two ladies ex
changed expressive glances, and as soon as Mrs.
Merwyn was again seated, Mrs. Brown remarked,
“You 5 tbay have thought it strange that we
should not know one of our own church members,
but I assure you, we are obliged to maintain dis
tinctions in the country, as well as in the city.
We flatter ourselves that we can boast as select
and refined society in our little village, as can be
found anywhere.”
“Of course,” said Mrs. Ellis, taking up the
defence, “ we esteem Mrs. Morris as a good woman,
but we were amazed at her presumption in ven
turing to. impose herself upon you as one of ‘ our
ladies’—l assure ?hc is / er y P° or ’ and labors
hard to support herself and family.
“I ant truly g la< b ladies, answered Mrs. M
“to find my own private judgment so ably sup
ported. Mrs. Morris struck me as a singularly
interesting woman. One so delicate mua in oe
possess great energy to perforin the tabor s e o ■
I never, 8 I think, was more interested than m her
remarks and prayers at the female prayer-mee ing,
this afternoon. I was, therefore, much pleased to
find that she lived on the same street as myself,
and gladly availed myself of her company home,
and then, at my urgent request, she came xn with
me. I trust if I am ever called to pass through
the trials which she has, I may have the same rich
grace to sustain me under them, which she has
callers looked rather confused at these
remarks of the rich and elegant woman, so far
superior to themselves in worldly advantages; and
though she , with great politeness, endeavored to
relieve their and render the call
agreeable, they soon “arose to leave.
“I am truly obliged for this early welcome,
said Mrs. M., “ especially since finding that you
are members of tbe church which I hope soon to
join. There is nothing, I believe, I prize so highly
as Christian society. Those who are united in
the bonds of Christ’s love, cannot be strangers to
each other.” , „, , ~
The ladies now bid adieu, and walked down tbe
avenue in silence. “Was there ever such a queer
woman?” exclaimed Mrs. Brown, as they turned
the corner, and were out of all possible hearing.-
“I never was so confounded in my life, 1 confess.
There were tears in her companion’s eyes, and
a tremor in her voice, as she answered, “1 think
she has the right of it, Mary. Did , n ? , ee
thus in the days of our first love, I feel I have
allowed worldlincss to get 100 much, power, over
me, and that I have almost lost my ; religious en
joyment. I am determined to try to retrace pay
steps, and rnihgle again in. that society, where ouj
Saviour’s presence is sure to he. I thank trod
for her faithfulness, and that one so capable ot
doing good has come among us. ‘One is your
Master, even Christ, and all ye are brethren.

THE MOTHER’S LAST LESSON.
“Will you please teach me my verse, mamma,
and then kiss me and bid me good night? ’ said
little Roger L., as he opened the door and peeped
cautiously into the chamber of his sick mother.
“ I am very sleepy, but no one has heard me say
my prayer.”
Mrs. L. was very ill; indeed her attendants be
lieved her to be dying. She sat propped up with
pillows, and struggling for breath; her • lips were
white, her eyes were growing dull and glazed, and
the purple blood was settling at the ends of her
eold, attenuated fingers. She was a widow, and
little Roger was her only, her darling child.
Every night he had been in the habit of coming
into her room, and sitting upon her lap, or kneel
ing by her side, while she repeated to him pas
sages from God’s Holy Word, or related him
stories of the wise and good men spoken of in its
pages. She had been in delicate health for many
years, hut never too ill to teach little Roger his
verse and hear his prayer.
“Hush! hush!” said a lady who was Watching
beside her couch, “your dear mamma is too ill to
hear you say your prayers to-night. I will put
you in bed;” and as she said this she came for
ward and laid her hand gently upon his arm, as
though she would lead him from the room.,
Roger begau to sob as though his little heart would
break.
“ I cannot go to bed without saying my prayers
—indeed I cannot.”
The ear of the dying mother caught the sound.
Although she had been nearly insensible to every
thing transpiring around her, the sound of her
darling’s sobs aroused her from her stupor; and
turning to a friend, she d,esired her to bring him
to her couch and lay him on her bosom. Her re
quest was granted, and the child’s rosy cheek and
golden head nestled beside the pale, cold face of
his dying mother. Alas, poor fellow! how little
did he realize then the irreparable loss which ho
soon was to sustain!
“ Roger, my son, my darling child,” said the
mother, “repeat this verse after me, and never,
never forget it: ‘ When my father and my mother
forsake me, the Lord shall take me up.’ ” The
child repeated it distinctly, and said his little
prayer. He then kissed the cold, almost rigid lips
before him, and went quietly to his little couch.
When he arose in the morning, he sought, as
usual, his mother’s room, but he found her cold
and still! That,was her last lesson! He has
never forgotten it! He probably never will ! He
has grown to be a man—a good mau —-and now
occupies a post of much honor and distinction in
Massachusetts. I never could look upon him
without thinking about the faith‘so beautifully
exhibited by his dying mother. It was not mis
placed. The Lord has taken her darling up.
My little reader,, if you, have God for your
friend, you need never fear; father and-mother
may forsake you—the world may seem to you like
a dreary waste, full of pitfalls and thorns; but he
can bring you safely through the trials, and give
you at last a golden harp and snowy robe, like
those the purified wear in heaven. He can eveH
surround your death-bed by angel visitants. He
is all-powerful, an ever present help in time of
trouble. ' Will you not then seek'his friendship
and keep his commandments?
“IT IS ONLY HIS WAY.”
“Papa, here,are some pretty flowers for you,”
said little Mollie Loringj as she ran. to meet, her
father on his return home. “Ain’t 5 they beauti
ful?” continued she, extending her fingers; and
laying their tapering tips upon a half-blown Lux
emburg, a Cape jessamine, and a white bud'that
seemed trying to hide itself amongst the crisped,
petals of a crape myrtle. “This tea-rose is play
ing bo-peep at you; ain’t they pretty, papa?"
“ Yes. Who sent them to me ?”
“Nobody. I gathered them for you.”
“Pshaw! I thought some friend sent them.
Go to play, and don’t pester me.” '
“There were more dimples than one in that
quivering chin, and something more than the heat
of a midsummer's day had crimsoned, the sweet'
face of the child, as sts turned - inti) her doll’s;
house, saying to herself, “I fixed them so. nicely,
and tied them with my doll’s new blue 'sgsh. that
Aunt Nina gave me yesterday. Ma says it is only
his way, but I think it is a mighty bad way; that’s
all I know about it, and I wish our papa was like
Carrie Morton’s.”
What a pity that papa does not consider it “a
bad way!” what a pity that he does not know how
such conduct estranges his little ones from him,
and throws back upon their warm hearts the sweet
affections which they are so happy in offering, and
he would be so happy in receiving, if he only
knew how to appreciate the love of children—if
he only knew how to speak kind words to them 1
But he is kindly disposed—it is only his way—
for even now, while Mollie is regretting her ina
bility to draw from him a word of approval, he is
turning the flowers in his hand, and saying, as he
admires them: “ Well, she certainly has displayed
very good taste in putting them together. Nothing
could be more tastefully arranged than these ver
benas on this lemon geranium loaf; and how beau
tifully she has dotted this crape-myrtle with
heart’s-ease and white rose-buds!”
Why did you not say those words to your daugh
ter? She would have embalmed them with a
child’s precious love, and stored them away in
memory’s urn, to gladden her heart when friends
prove false, and the world unkind—when the sor
row of the present makes her fear the future, and
turn for relief to the remembrance of childhood’s
joys and youth’s sunny hours. Bathers; speak
kindly, lovingly to the little ones around you:
Thank them for their love-offerings; tell them the
flowers are beautiful and sweet; point out their
beauties and sweetness; tell them in what respects
they resemble little children; and thus teach them
to “look through nature up to nature’s God." If
you have adopted a repulsive manner, abandon it,
and make home happy by your smiles, that your
children may believe you when you say you love
them, and know how to understand those who
talk to them of fond parents and.happy families.

WHAT CAUSES DYSPEPSIA-AND HOW
IT MAY BE CURED
Were it asked what disease is the most preva
lent in the world, a throng of emaciated faces
would answer, Dyspepsia. You meet it every
where, as far as civilization extends indeed, it
may be called the creature of civilization. It is
one of the greatest of human afflictions,— hearing
directly upon the physical, and complicating the
mental and moral condition of mankind, and af
fecting seriously the affairs of life. _ _ „
Without enumerating all the minutise, I snail
note the more prominent, recognised points oi the
subject, and add such other matter connected with
it, but less generally known, as may he deemed
worthy of attention. _ 1 .
Properly speaking, dyspepsia is not a disease,
though treated as such. It exists, eminently in a
varied degree, ranging from a temporary ailment,
to a protracted, exhaustive disease, unfitting the
individual for business or pleasure—a burden to
himself, fit neither for life nor death.. To tfiis un
enviable state is to be added the reproach which
attaches to those cursed with this malady. It is
thought to argue sensual indulgences-—a lack of
moral energy in the individual. This, in the main,
is unjust, as will be seen when we enumerate the
causes which lead to the disease. These are va
rious, and often unsuspected. I will name the most
prominent.
Chief is a sedentary life. Man is so constituted
by habit, that exercise is made a necessity, to
health. It is a normal condition. A deviation
from it is an infringement of the sanitary laws of
man’s nature. The fluids of the body not having
the accustomed stimulus wbieh exercise imparts,
lose their balance in the system. The agent that
sends the blood to the extremities and the skin,
being withheld, an internal concentration of fluids
takes place, depriving the rest of the body of its
due share of the circulation. Among the many
laws of our nature, there are certain which require
our-obedience—effort on our part. One is the
necessity of exercise. We must act, or. suffer the
result. The natural state of man is not indolence;
hence the odium attached to a life of idleness.
The next thing that most induces the disease, is
excessive indulgence of the appetite. We not only
take too much food in the aggregate, but we over
load the stomach, distending that member till its
strength becomes lessened and its functions de
ranged, the whole system sympathizing with this
central, most critical and important organ.
The intemperate use of ardent spirits is another
source of dyspepsia. It is also brought on by un
due muscidar exertion. This is less generally
known as a cause of dyspepsia, and its philosophy
still less understood. The fatigue which the mus
cles undergo, extends to the stomach as well;
which, in consequence, loses its energy thus un
fitting it, as well as the other digestive organs, for
its requisite performances. The inference is, there
is not sufficient digestive and assimilative power
to sustain the system. Besides, if persisted in, the
functions of these organs become not only weak
ened, but constitutionally deranged, which is a
farther Complication of the difficulty—thus estab
lishing dyspepsia, which always means, however
brought about, a derangement of the organs of
digestion, principial/y the stomach.
I have thus enumerated the more prominent in
ducements which lead to this disease, There are
others, but they are generally auxiliary to the
main causes —such as severe mental exertion,
persisted in; strong emotions of whatever kind,
often indulged in, and long continued. To name
all the symptoms of dyspepsia—and their name is
legion—is not necessary. I will mention some, in
the hope, more particularly, to relieve those who
may he under the harrowing impression that some
other and fatal malady is preying upon them, —
which in itself may be set down as a symptom of
the disease.
A gloomy atmosphere is the inheritance of the
dyspeptic, with now and then sharp glances of
sunlight, both the gloom and the light unnatural
—the former weighing down the spirits to a mor
bid degree, the latter elevating them to a feverish
excitement. This is not the worst phase of the
disease: that takes place when all is glootn, and
no bright moments enliven the horizon. Hence,
to the confirmed dyspeptic, life is a dreary exist
ence. He sees things in a false light, his impres
sions are erroneous, his judgment, in consequence,
becomes unreliable. His bright moments —which
eventually return—reveal this, which adds another
pang to the many that annoy him, as it touches
his character for sanity. All this, as before stated;
leads to the worst evil that results! from dyspepsia
—imaginary misfortune— appearing in as many
forms almost as the subject of the patient’s
thoughts. ■ 7
Physically he has many evils to contend with;
pain in the chest, and other parts of the body, par
ticularly the left side and the sternum. : The mus
cles of the body become weak and flabby, mani
festing soreness on the least unusual exertion,
with'lameness in the limbs, &e. There is tender
ness in the region of the stomach and the hips, felt
upon pressure. The extremities, are cold and rigid;
the skin dry, rough and pale; hands and feet
especially are cold, sometimes hot and burning.
The patient at times i.s distressed with night-sweats,
bad sleep and worse'dreams.* He seems heir to a
thousand evils, changing in their nature —old ones
vanishing, new ones appearing; Some of the most
“alarming to, the sufferers, are, palpitation, .eough:
He is troubled with vertigo, ringing and other
sounds in the ears. Sometimes he hesitates in ffiis
speech,—has uncertain action;—is pleased with
nothing,-—-pleases nobody, has abundant occasion
for regretting blunders of manners, and morals.
Moral power he seems greatly to lack: he has lost
self-control, follows this whim, and that, but never
the doctor’s preseription-to the end—he cannot re
main in the mood long enough, hence the disease
is, prolonged, especially as time is necessary to a
cure. He has no patience for that, he is so moody,
sp’wayering. In a word he is only the shadow of
himself. . ■ ■-
; But, happily, dyspepsia is a curable disease. The
cure rests in the observance of. three prominent re
quirements, namely :,, the removal of the cause,
diet, and earerase. These maybe aidedby other
ineans—but, alone, they are sufficient to cure the
disease. . ■ ‘ - •
Intemperance, in its widest sense, is the' true
cause of 'dyspepsia—excesses’all kinds' that
bear upon the stomaeh, as r ' already remarked.
Correct these, and you will remove the gyves that
bind down the. recuperative energy. . This done—
iwhich meets the first requirement—the system,
which is in a debilitated condition) needs aid; needs
nursing. ' " y
Experience shows that a given quantity of food
can- be more easily digested in four than, in three
meals—it shows that quantity is of more import
ance than quality. The patient in general will be
his own best judge in what agrees best with him.
He should avoid all excitement immediately be
fore and'after, as well as daring his meals, which
should be enjoyed at his leisure, that the appetite
may appreciate the measure of food, and time be
afforded for its thorough mastication. Best,—or
better, a mild passive exercise,—should follow
each meal. It is also important to keep regular
hours. Pood' taken at unusual seasons produces
headache, and temporary disorder of the digestive
process. Most of all, avoid a surfeit.
In general, tea may be indulged in to some ex
tent. Coffee should be avoided, or taken sparingly.
If used occasionally, it may serve to stir up the
dormant energies, and in a measure prove a re
vulsive agent. It is best to give up entirely
tobacco'and' ardent spirits—the' latter gradually,
where habits of intemperance exist. In no case
should strong habits be broken up abruptly, as the
system can ill endure the shock, ah well as shocks
of any kind: hence the cold bath should generally
be avoided.
With regard to the third and last, but equally
important points—exercis 5 —exercise—a wide field is open.
Perhaps the best exercise is in the saddle. It af
fects equally the w’hole system. The patient acts
in his effort to retain his position, and is acted
upon by the motion of the horse. The internal
organs, as well as the limbs and muscles of the
body, receive the invigorating benefit. ■
; i Walking is the most ready mode of exercise;
but many others, the writer is convinced’from ex-
perienoe and observation, are preferable, because
in walking the legs and back are taxed dispropor
tionately to the rest of, the body. _
It is most importan t that exercise be regular and
continued, as well as equally affecting all parts of
the body. Several hours In each day, at least,
should be devoted-to it —devoted to thorough ac
tion, short only of great fatigue. „
A conformity to only one, or even two, of tbe
three general requirements, will not cure dyspep
sia. It requires a faithful observance of them all
to remove what even then will be found most dis
eouragingly persistent. As the disease is not
formed in a day, so it cannot lie cured in a day.
There areikher things to be observed. The
hours of sleep should be held sacred against in
trusion. It ii important that the patient have
some employment-or recreation to occupy his time,
which would o therwise make him a prey to gloomy
thoughts, and aggravate his distress. Travelling
agreeably diverts the attention. Any change
which occupies ( the mind, is beneficial, especially
if it affords exercise to the body, which, as much
as possible, should be made a pleasure instead of
a task. This |nay seem unimportant, but is really
a matter of copequence. Cheerfulness is an effi
cient medi.cink though its extreme, hilarity, is
too great a strain upon the nerves, which, in dys
pepsia, are very weak. ! Great heat and cold should
be avoided; tfie one enervates, the other unduly
taxes the systemintense cold is too great a
stimulant. ; Eittemes should always be avoided,
and moderatioifbe the watchword. _
In genera],[medicines are of little avail, ana
then only as ails. The bowels may be regukted
by a judicious diet, embracing the aperient
or food containing astringent properties where a
relaxing is required, though in the : great
majority of, cates, eostivehess is the rule. This
may be best tmated by a resort to' regular stool
hours. The have a stated time in
each day wMgtkhould be inflexibly adhered to.
Only urgent'or|obstinate symptoms should call in
the:aid of the fhysiciam ’ . .
One > of; the greatest difficulties in the cure of
dyspepsia, is,a lack of moral power ,—.e nergy to
overcome, to jjersist, resolutely, unflinchingly, in
the course prescribed. The patient will be led
into excesses ajmost ere he is aware, and some
times under the impression that he is sufficiently
recovered to indulge his appetite without danger.
Nothing can be [m ore delusive. Dyspepsia is the
most fickle'of'diseases; a strong hand and a firm
mind alone caij earry out what will' eventually
insure success, namely, an unremitting course of
treatment—and (this should falliupon- another, not
upon the patient—at least, not exclusively; as
w,ell leave; the inebriate with his; cups.. i It is this
persistence in the treatment that is so generally
neglected.; and .jvithout its .observance, not a case
of dyspepsia cans ever be eured.
In' conclusion,[jet me once more refer to exer
cise. Too much stress can hardly be put upon
this point. In no case does the patient sb gene
rally err, so easily become a delinquent. Ease
not only, but weakness, and ah indisposition to
act, cause this dereliction. Not only is the incli
nation lasting, baf the will, the- power to do. We
are, surprised at neglect in this im
portant paftioukf. , -
Let ine also again warn the individual against
the, tendency ,ou feigning himself afflicted with
other and dangerous diseases. It. is difficult-—al
most impossible—to successfully combat these
morbid insinuations. . Unless the patient succeeds
in arresting'this pendency, he will seem in turn to
be attacked by almost every malady, and suffer the
consequent effect'of such imaginings, heightened
by the already existent gloom of the mind. Hence
the necessity of another's aid to enforce these ob
servances. • -

WHAT IS SAID OF IT.
Attention is requested to the following opinions with
regard to
THE CHUECH PSALMIST.
By Rev. R. W. PATTERSON, D. D.,
Chicago, 111,
I have used the .Church Psalmist constantly for the
lastfourtccn years, and I can conscientiously say that it
w, in my judgment—all things considered—the . best
Hymn Book for the ordinary service of the Sanctuary
with which lam acquainted. This I say, after a careful
examination of all the Hymn Books that are generally
known in this country.
By Rev. SAMUEL W. FISHER, D.D.,
Prcs't of Hamilton College.
. After a constant use of it for nearly fifteen years, in
tne pulpit, lecture room, prayer room, and study, I may
ne permitted to say, that I have never met with a verse
of bad poetry, and that as a whole, the book has grown
into my affections and commended itself to ray judg
ment as the most admirable work for that part of the
devotions of the sanctuary for which it is designed,
which has appeared in this or any other country.
By Rev. Dr. WILSON,
Newark, N. J.
1 used the Church Psalmist, and have found
it all that is needed in the public worship of the sane
tuary._ In lyrical excellence, in range of topics, and in
capability of musical adaptation, X consider it the best
Psalmody extant
By Rev. S. C. AIKEN, D.D.,
. Cleveland , Ohio.
Ppr about sixteen years the Chuiich Psalmist has been
used immy Congregation, and with an increasing convic
tion of its excellence. Though somewhat familiar ufah
several volumes of sacred poetry, I know of no on?
superior to this in respect to the character of the psalm
ouy, its variety and its other desirable qualities. In the
fact that it has been adopted by our General Assembly,-
and that, any profits from its sale go to the support of
ourPublkmtion Cause, there exists an additional reason,
Were one needed, for its use by our churches.
By Rev. HARVEY CURTIS, D.D.,
Pres't of Knox College .
■ I have examined with much interest the supplement
to the Psalmist, recently published by the Committee,
and wish to express my gratification at finding it to rich
an addition to what was before the best collection of
sacred lyrics in our language.
By Rev. ASA D. SMITH, D. D.,
New York,
. After careful examination and comparison with Other
books, the Church Psalmist was adopted in my congre
gation several years ago. .We have continued the use
Of it, to general acceptation and edification, as I believe,
up to the present time. The addition now made to it,
including many gems of hymnology, renders it a still
more admirable help to cc the service of song in the
House of the Lord." °
By Rev. WILLIAM AIKMAN,
Wilmington, Bel.
I have read it and sung it in the church, in the house
with friends who love sacred hymns, and alone, and my
experience has been that while defects maybe at first
suspected and perhaps observed, yet a careful considera
tion will show that fewer faults have been committed
and more errors have been avoided in this book than in
any which has preceded, or has yet been put in compe
tition with it. .
By Rev. THORNTON A. MILLS, D.D.,'
After using the Church Psalmist from the time of its
first publication, and carefully comparing it with other
collections, I have no hesitation in declaring that I con
sider it superior to any book of its kind now before the
public.
By Rev. PROFESSOR ALLEN,
Of Lane Seminary.
I have used the Church Psalmist for several years
past, and have carefully examined the Hymns which
compose the_Supplement, and Ido not hesitate to say
that it combines more excellences for worship in the
Sanctuary and in social meetings than any similar work
with which lam acquainted, I hope it will be intro
duced into all of our churches.
By Rev. EDWIN F. HATFIELD, D.D.,
New York.
Ever since its publication, in 1843,1 have used it in
public, social; and family worship, with increasing satis
faction. As a lyrical compilation, and as a vehicle of
praise to ,God, it may, safely challenge a comparison
with any other.
By Rev. J: W. MoLANE, D.D.,
Brooklyn, N. Y.
In the selection and arrangement'of its materials—in
the.simplicity, purity, and elevation of its language—in
the ease and flow of its stanzas, and fine lyrical spirit, it.
is superior to anything of the kind within my know
ledge.
By Rev, J, G. BUTLER,
Philadelphia.
After a somewhat critical examination of the principal
collections of Psalmody now in use among our Evangeli
cal Churches, it is my clear conviction that for all the
practical purposes of Sabbath worship, the Church
PsAi,MisT, as now supplemented, has no superior.
By Rev. JOHN JENKINS, D.D.,
Philadelphia.
The ChuRCH Psalmist, with the Supplement, is not
surpassed, if indeed it is equalled, by any Psalm and
Hymn Book in’use by; the: Churches'in the' United
States.
These commendations of the; Church Psalmist could be
greatly multiplied, but it will hardly be found needful after
the perusal of those already given.' ' '' ; ‘ : ’
