Rays Of Sunshine is the title OF a new
book of sacred song, lately published by
Profs Pemberton Pierce and Adam
Geibel 1t is small in size, having only 40
pages, but is full of true musical and
poetic merit. Unlike most of the more
pretentious publications of its class, which
usually have half dozen pieces, which
get sung to death, the remainder being
nearly worthless, each of the selections
in this book is of solid worth. The low
price at which it is sold, makes it of
especial value to Sunday Schools and re-
igious gatherings in these days Of con-
slant change in sacred music. Price 10 and
