Temperance and Gospel Songs

THIS new song book is fast gaining the popularity which its merits deserve. It is greatly in advance of the temperance song books of the day, and adds much to the interest of temperance meetings wherever used. The words and music are mostly new, from the hands of our best authors.
Among the authors of new music we notice such names as D. S. Hakes, Dr. W. O. Perkins, H. S. Perkins, Wm. P. Sherwin, W. A. Ogden, T. C. O'Kane, J. A. Butterfield. Dr. J. B. Herbert, W. T. Giffe, Elisha A. Hoffman, Frank M. Davis, W. J. Botswick, and others.
The book contains a good assortment of rousing congregational pieces, which are easily learned and popular, together with a large number especially adapted to choir and quartette use, also a few anthems and male quartettes.
Among the many words of commendation received for this book are the following:—
"I think 'Temperance and Gospel Songs' one of the best temperance song books I have seen."—D. C. BABCOCK, District Sec. National Temperance Pub. So. of New York.
"This book is far superior to all other temperance song books I have seen, for solid, practical, gospel temperance songs."—P. T. LYNN, Musical Director, Hornellsville, N. Y.
"Among the many things which made our meeting a glorious success throughout, was the inspiring singing by our grand choir from your new work, 'Temperance and Gospel Songs.' It is overflowing with good music and fine hymns. It is a great advance in the line of temperance music books, and ought to find a place, and have a large sale among the many temperance organizations throughout the country. It is the best book of the kind I have ever seen."—C. HENRY MEAD, Conductor Silver Lake, N. Y., Temperance Camp-Meeting.
"The music throughout is musician-like—a rare excellency in such books. The words, too, are fresh and have a meaning."—W. T. GIFFE, Logansport, Ind.
"I am much pleased with 'Temperance and Gospel Songs.' Think it will be a favorite among temperance workers."—FRANK M. DAVIS, Jacksonville, Pa.

Premium Offer to New Subscribers

By Editor

BEING desirous of greatly increasing our subscription list we offer to new subscribers, the SIGNS OF THE TIMES one year, with the beautiful picture WAY OF LIFE as Premium for the regular subscription price, $2.00 a year in advance.

THE WAY OF LIFE.

FROM PARADISE LOST TO PARADISE RESTORED. This beautiful and instructive allegorical engraving illustrates man's fall in consequence of sin, and his redemption through Christ. It presents to the eye, at a single glance, the design of the forms and ceremonies of the Patriarchal, Jewish, and Christian systems of religion. It also illustrates the fact that the Law of God and the Gospel of Christ run parallel, from the fall of man to the end of probation.
WHAT IS SAID ABOUT IT:—
Elder Uriah Smith, of the Review and Herald, Battle Creek, Mich., says: "We have examined with much pleasure the allegorical picture entitled, The Way of Life. A more comprehensive design I think I have never seen, nor one that deals with a more important subject."
Elder J. N. Andrews, missionary to Europe, says: "The engraving presents to the eye at a single glance a vast field of Bible truth. It sets forth the work of redemption from its earliest development to its final triumph in the establishment of the everlasting kingdom of God under the whole heaven. It will interest the thoughtful Bible student."
Elder George I. Butler, president of the Iowa State Conference, says: "This is no ordinary picture, intended merely as an ornament, but one which contains a great lesson of instruction. A glance at it brings before the mind the whole plan of salvation, from Paradise lost to Paradise restored."
Elder S. N. Haskell says: "I think it the most interesting and instructive picture I ever saw. I can heartily recommend it to all."
Size, 19 x 24 inches; price, with "Key" of explanation, $1.00.

THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

By Editor

PROSPECTUS FOR 1881.

WITH the commencement of the new year, the SIGNS OF THE TIMES will enter upon its seventh volume. The success that has attended this remarkable journal in the past, and the many expressions of approval and encouragement received from patrons and readers in every quarter of the globe, warrant the publishers in undertaking another volume with renewed confidence in its mission, and assurance of a world-wide approbation. It is also expected that, as the common hope of all interested in the truths advocated in the SIGNS draws nigh to realization, those who have heretofore labored in unison to sustain and circulate it will put forth new efforts in its behalf, and assist in the laudable object of placing it before thousands of new and interested readers.

CHARACTER.

We confidently announce that the columns of the SIGNS will be, as heretofore, filled with interesting and instructive matter, profitable to all classes of readers willing to be profited by it. The present corps of Editors, whose names and pens have given character and value to the paper in past volumes, will continue their efficient editorial labors during the coming year. The names of Elders WHITE, ANDREWS, SMITH, and WAGGONER, through their literary works, are known throughout the civilized world; and we trust the mere announcement of their continued connection with the paper will be sufficient guarantee of continued excellence.

OBJECT.

The primary object of the SIGNS is the dissemination of Bible truth, prominent topics being the exposition of prophecy and general tenor of the Scriptures regarding the Coming of the Lord, the Judgment, the Nature and Destiny of Man, the Commandments of God, the Sanctuary, the Millennium, the Tendency of Modern Religion, and other subjects of special application and import at the present time. In short, it will be the aim to make this a live religious journal, eschewing all dead or unprofitable issues, and holding up to the light all that specially concerns the present generation.

CONTRIBUTORS.

Pointed and instructive articles from the pen of MRS. E. G. WHITE, will form a bright feature of the paper in the coming volume, as in the past. Also, all our leading contributors, in Europe and various parts of our own country, who have added so much to its value heretofore, are expected to continue their favors in Volume Seven.

DEPARTMENTS.

For the convenience of the reader the matter will be divided into departments, such as Temperance (of which the SIGNS will always be an ardent advocate), The Sabbath-school, The Missionary, Home Circle, General News, etc., etc. The departments, as also the selection of choice miscellany from the best publications and authors, will receive careful attention.

TWELVE PAGES.

The new volume will contain twelve pages of reading matter, having no miscellaneous advertisements, thus giving its readers a full complement of wholesome literature each week.

TERMS.

Volume Seven will be furnished to subscribers at the low rate of Two DOLLARS, postage prepaid. In clubs of five or more, to one address, ONE DOLLAR AND A HALF. Sample copies, FREE.
☞ Those desiring to subscribe should do so immediately, so as to secure the complete volume for the year 1881, which will prove a most valuable file for future reference.

THIS POPULAR HEALTH JOURNAL has for several years enjoyed the Largest Circulation of any Health Journal in America, and its publishers are determined not only to maintain its high position, but to greatly increase its circulation, and thus enlarge its field of usefulness. To this end no effort will be spared to make the magazine in all respects worthy of the confidence and patronage of an intelligent public, and a valued and welcome guest in every household. The usefulness of the journal in the past is abundantly attested by its host of friends, many of whom have been its patrons from its initial number, and would not dispense with it for ten times its price.
During the year each number will contain a large amount of valuable and interesting matter on the subjects of HEALTH, TEMPERANCE, POPULAR SCIENCE, GENERAL LITERATURE, and other topics of interest. The practical information in its pages on
SANITARY SCIENCE, PUBLIC AND DOMESTIC HYGIENE,
and topics of kindred nature, gives it a scope and field of usefulness peculiar to itself, and unoccupied by any other journal.
