FOR 1873. PRICE, $3.00 per annum. The proprietors of the Congregationalist intend that their journal shall merit and reward a circulation and confidence second to no other paper of its class. In addition to features which have for years been well known to the public, we call attention to the following attractions for the year 1878: (1) An article each month during the year from the pen of Rev. W. HI H. MURRAY, of Park Street Church. These communications will be specially prepared for our columns, and may be expected to speak for themselves, as the efforts of this exceedingly popular pastor and platform orator are wont to do While he now and then utters some truth in a way or in a proportion, which does not satisfy all Ortho dox men, we take it that nobody who really knows him and his work, fails to recognize in him one of the foremost champions of a truly evangelical faith, and one of the most stalwart assailants of unbelief, error, and evil, in high places and in low; and there are no two opinions as to the freshness and force of his way of putting things. (2) The Sabbath School Department, containing comments every week upon the Uniform Sabbath School Lessons for 1873, by REV. JOHN TODD, D. D. Dr. Todd needs no introduction to the great army of Sunday-school workers, and expectations of our readers as to the value of the teachers helps which he will furnish during the ensuing year, cannot be too sanguine. Who will not be too glad to join the teachers' meeting" of which this eminent and honored pastor is to be the leader! (3) A series of articles by the most eminent English clergymen, such as Dean Stanley, Dra. Binney, Raleigh, Allan, Mullens, and Stoughton, Rev. Paxton Hood, and others. We have taken great pains, and are involved in considerable expence, in this endeavour to introduce to our readers some of the best writers of the day, in England, on religious subjects, and are confident that these will be articles of great value and interest. (4) A sketchy article every month from Mrs. J. D. CHAPLIN. She is one of the few writers who charm alike all classes of readers, whether scholarly or unlearned, old or young. (5) A Children's Department, which includes each week one or more articles printed in large type. These are designed for the youngest readers, and, though a new feature, they are already looked for with eager interest, and in a multitude of cases are read aloud in the family. (6) Letters to a Grandmother, by JOHN IIENRY. It is both needless and useless to attempt to describe these letters of a promising young man in the city to his country grandmother. The quiet humor, rich simplicity, and sterling common sense, di played in his comments and suggestions, have from the first drawn very wide attention to these letters. (7) Letters once in two weeks from REV. HORACE JAMES, our travelling correspondent in Europe who goes to Italy, Egypt, and l'alestine, and will give our readers the benefit of his observations and experience. (S) An Agricultural Department under the charge of J. F. C. HYDE, ESQ. Mr. Hyde is not only well known as one of the leading agriculturists and horticulturists of Massachusetts, but he knows how to use the pen most effectively, whether in producing paragrapli matter or more elaborate articles, and this fea ture of our paper may be depended on as one of interest and value for those for whom it is designed. (9) The beautiful Chromo, AMONG THE FLOWERS, is now furnished as a gift to every new subscriber to the Congregationalist. Each picture is supplied with a fine black walnut frame, making a premium, which as valued at the stores, is worth certainly not less than six dollars and a half. It is only by secur ing a very large number of new subscribers that we shall be able to carry out this offer without pecuniary: loss. That this picture is really a beautiful one and fitted to adorn the walls of any drawing-room or parlor, no one will doubt, we think, after reading such indorsements of it as are published fro a week to week in the Congregationalist, from such names as John G. Whittier, Dr. Ray Palmer, Rev. W. L. Gage. Henry Clay Trumbull, and many others. Let the reader remember that we furnish both the picture quit the frame as a premium to new subscribers. We have omitted to mention numerous features, such as Spectator's Washington Letter, our Literary page. Business Article, Market Reports, and various paragraph matter, including Missionary Items. Temperance and Health Items, Pilgrim's Chicago Letter, and occasionally an entire page devoted to one topic, such as the Prayer-Meeting, and the Family; but we are happy to assure our friends that the Con gregationalist was never more fully manned than at present, four editors giving it their entire Ume while several departments are in charge of experts out of the office; and we hope to be able to furnish paper this year which, in ali its various departments, shall be fresh and attractive, helpful in the family. helpful to ministers and churches in their work, and on the whole superior to any previous volume of this journal. The Congregationalist is sent to ail ministers in active service at $2.00 a year, but the premium · Chromo cannot be furnished with it at this reduced price. W. L.
