TUNES FOR THE FAMILY SELECTED BY S. D. MAJOR.

AND

CONGREGATION.

(Compiler of the "Book of Praise.") The Proprietors beg to call especial attention to this publication, which, they feel sure, will require merely to be known to be widely and deservedly appreciated. It contains 770 distinct Tunes, embracing arrangements suitable to the varied requisites of all the more recently published Hymn Books.

The selection not only includes all the Standard Tunes from English, German, and other sources; but also some of the more deservedly favourite English Tunes of the eighteenth century, the best compositions from the large collections published of late years in America, the more striking of the Welsh Congregational Tunes, most of the popular English Tunes of the present day, and some Tunes of very considerable merit not before published.

The Homilist, though taking a fresh start, will run on the old lines, and under the same catholic skies, freighted, as for the past quarter of a century, not with heavy timber, but with seeds and saplings, not with manufactured metal, but with virgin ore.

The Homilist will only have space on its pages for condensed and suggestive thinkings. For though we are enabled to reckon on the valued help of some of the ripest Scholars and Leaders of Religious Thought of our times, we shall prize all articles just as their pith and point may serve our readers. Ever our aim, cherished earnestly if humbly, will be the storage of spiritual and intellectual force,-such a storage of force as shall, under God, contribute to the light and life and progress of souls. Redland, Bristol. URIJAH R. THOMAS.

All contributions, which if in accordance with the preceding note, will be thankfully welcomed, to be forwarded to the Editor, as above.

Volumes I., II., III., and IV. of the current (Eclectic) series are now ready. Price 7s. 6d., cloth, red edges.

"The British Quarterly" says, of the New Series, "It is varied, vivacious, instructive, True to its title; almost everything bears on the pulpit. Throughout it is strong, suggestive, useful; the best of its class."

PHARISAIC FALLACIES.

WHEREFORE BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM. NOT EVERY ONE THAT SAITH UNTO ME, LORD, LORD, SHALL ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN; BUT HE THAT DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN. MANY WILL SAY TO ME IN THAT DAY, LORD, LORD, HAVE WE NOT PROPHESIED IN THY NAME? AND IN THY NAME HAVE CAST OUT DEVILS? AND IN THY NAME DONE MANY WONDERFUL WORKS? AND THEN WILL I PROFESS UNTO THEM, I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME, YE THAT WORK INIQUITY."-Matthew vii. 20-23.

HAVE to speak to you to-day on a subject to me unspeakably sad.* Willingly would I have kept silence; but things which have been said during the past week by many God-fearing people in this parish seem to leave me no choice. At the risk of being misunderstood, I must try, by the help of God, to tell you the thoughts that I believe God would suggest to us by that sudden death from fever which has caused alarm and grief amongst us. It is not the sudden or unprepared death of a healthy, romping youth that has grieved me most, sad though that be. The talk of pious people about that death has
