mit us to take ‘this metlind ot expressing our
great satisfaction with the Collection of Hymns
which you have of late published for the use of
Hie Baptist denomination. As Pastors, we have
long fell ihe need ol some book, different from
any which coo Iff beobiamed, and we have look
ed forward with interest to the lime when your
proposed work should be issued trom the press
That work is now completed and before the
public; and from an attentive and careful exam
ination of its pages, we are p epared to give a
hearty recommendation. It is clear in its ar
rangement, sound in doctrine, rich in sentiment,
sweet and beautiful in Us poetry, anil. 10 our
opinion, most admirably adapted io the wants
of the denomination. We cannot but hope,
therefore, that it will soon be adopted by all
■ Ur churches.

Messrs. Gould. Kendall cj- Lincoln.— The
o: dersigned have been appointed, by the Fac
ulty ot our Institution,a cmnmilttee to examine
the hymn book, entitled ‘The Psalmist,'recent

iow and Rev. S. F. Smith. It giveS us pleas
ure to slate, as the result of onr examination,
that we consider the work deciJedly simerior
to any Similar collection with w hich we are ac
quaimed.. Its materials are drawn from ihe
best sources of sacred lyrical poetry in our lan
guage; the arrangement is eminently happy,
and the’ variely of its selections adapts it to al
most every occasion. We think the adopt!6i7
of the work in the Raptist churches in our

that interesting branch of worship with refer
