"Angelic Hongs." for Sun day schools and the home, will be out about September 1st. Competent crit ics und publishers who have examined the work, pronounce It the best and most complete of Its kind yet produced. And certain It is. thut neither time, lubor, or exiense huve been spared to make it such. It is not a niuclilne-made book, or a rehash of old tunes, but strictly new. and up to date, and will be a. revelation to the choristers and schools of this country. Many of the original hymns were written for, and used in long and extensive personal work, and have therefore had a prac tical test. The book comprises about 2S0 bright, singable hymns; of this number about one-tlfth are of Mr. Rock well's own composition, and an equal number adaptations; of this remainder about one-third are contributed and the balance are from the best English, French, Germun and American writers.
