EASTER CONCERT PIECE.

The Publishing House has spared no
labor or expense to make the Concert
Exercise for Easter this year, one of the
most acceptable and attractive of any
that it has ever issued. To attain this
object it early secured the services Of
Miss Kate L. Brown, whose previous
work in this line has shown a peculiar
genius for it and proved exceedingly
popular. Miss Brown has written an
entirely original piece entitled "Ohild
Eric's Pilgrimage; or the Story of the
Little Boy who went out to find Jesus"
which is printed in the Sunday school
Helper for February. Now ready.
The preparation of the carols was plac-
ed in the competent hands Of Miss Eliza.
beth q. Emerson whose work is highly
commended by good judges. Single
copies Of the Helper 10 cents; IL for 81.
The carols have been printed in a
twelve page pamphlet to be sold at the
rate of $3.50 per hundred copies, postage
paid. A sample copy will be sent free;
As Easter comes this year, Sunday, April
1, all orders should be sent in early.
Address only Universalist Publishing
House, Boston.

THE NEW COVENANT. VOL. /
NetD Edition.

4
Notwithstanding very large edition Of
the first issue of Volume one, of DR..
Hanson's New COVENANT was published,
the work has for some time been out OF
print. But all demands can now be sup
piled as a second edition is now in stock
The large sales of the work show how
well the book has been appreciated by
| our people. AS many of our readers are
aware, this volume contains the Four
Gospels, arranged chronologically, and
in the form of harmony, so that what is
said by all or more than one of the four
evangelists is included in single section.
This feature of the work enables the
reader to see at a glance all that relates
to any one passage in our Lords life or
teachings. Then while the commentary is
brief. it is very comprehensive. What
ever relates to any point Of doctrine di-
rectly or indirectly touching human des-
tiny is exclusively commented on, so
that the reader is able to see the fullest
expositions on important passages.
As our Sunday-schools are now study
ing Matthew, they will find in this vol
ume an invaluable aid to understanding
that Gospel. And it will be especially
valuable to those scattered Universalists
who are studying the International Les
sons in the schools of other churches
With The New COVENANT in hand they
will be able to counterfeit erroneous
teachings, and shed no little light wheret
it is much needed among those unfsmil-
lar with our statements. The NEW Gov
ENANT not only gives an exact transla-
ton Of the Four Gospels, but it is an en-
tire compendium of Universalist exposi-
ton and comment, and contains the sub
stance Of volumes of criticism, explana-
ton and exposition. The book is beauti-
fully printed and bound, and will be sent
post paid to any address for one dollar.

Mango Unitarian church, on the evening

heartily applauded by the large audience,
some of the members of the Institute de-
elaring it was the most interesting one
they ever heard. Rev. Mr.. Walker, the
President, said at was rare treat; rich
experience, to hear lecture on the Em-

it's sphere of usefulness by providing for
a Committee ON Benevolence. An active

tributions of fruits, flowers, etc., and to

tiers placed in their hands. The Associa-
ton by this committee, provides another

his rare personal worth and high rank as

with it was severed" The same paper
