ALEXANDER'S NEW HYMN BOOK.

A WONDERFUL CLUSTER OF REVIVAL SONGS. Those folk away from the city who cannot see and hear Mr Alexander away the great crowds with the magic of his conducting will scarcely realise what a remarkable cluster of revival songs are to be found within the covers of his new book The full music and word 9 of over 200 hymns, selected personally by Mr Alexander, make up "The New Alexander Hymn Bonk," just published. Undoubtedly its songs will soon be sung in scores of thousands of homes in Australasia. and those people who miBS getting a copy will miss the introduction into their homes of a wonderfully sweetening and refining influence. This is the finest book Mr Alexander has ever edited. It gives the music for more hymns ,than the last book (209 in all); but the price is not increased —it remains at Is 3d. While most of the old favourites of the last mission are given, "The New Alexander Hymn Book" is worch buying simply to secure the great collection of new and better hymns, representing the best work of the most noted hymn writers in the world, such as Harkness, McGranahan, Stebbins, Towner, Gabriel, etc. Robert Harkness has set to music several hymns written by Dr J. Wilbur Chapman for this book. The book is not for mission goers alone; its hymns played in the home will create a new atmosphere; its melodieß will arrest the attention and linger in the minds and hearts of the bovs and girls, and its mssage will uplift and cheer every careworn mother and father. Is sd, in stamps, sent to T. Shaw Fitchett, 376 Swanston street, Melbourne, will bring the Alexander's new hymn book to any home by return post.
