The BRITISH EVANGELIST has now a history of Eighteen months, and, considering the many obstacles to success which meet every new enterprise in religious periodon literature, that history has been of an interesting and encouraging character Magazine is gradually gaining "a name and a place" among the still compara u small number of decidedly Christian monthlies. Whilst the press teems with p."-cations of an injurious tendency, and pours forth an abundance of works from w: a the great facts and truths of the Gospel are wholly excluded-nay, in which thrutianity is directly assailed-it has not furnished, in any adequate propr. t antidotes to this moral poison. The BRITISH EVANGELIST was among the first to recognise the Americas Revival as a fact, and to record its wide progress and glorious results. Fy eats f it many Christians in our own land have been led to pray for and expec: s blessings. In some places the church has had to rejoice that the Lord has visted His people, awakening souls, and creating an ardent aspiration after times of to freshing from His presence.' The part which the BRITISH EVANGELIST has been honoured to take in this work is such as should heartily commend it to the pratima and sympathies of all who desire the spread of the Gospel. It is the ofere revival sentiment, and is to be the instrument for revival work, and the metam revival intelligence. Its promoters would have it the companion and reporter the progress of that angel, who, flying in mid heaven, has "the everlasting (- - to preach unto them that dwell on the earth." The work is with them tr. work of faith and a labour of love." They seek not for themselves any reco མ་ profit or emolument. In the event of any gain accruing from the puḥlication, say are prepared to devote it to the great work of Christian Evangelization. Let the friends of Jesus rally around the BRITISH EVANGELIST, and ur te a earnest effort and fervent prayer that it may prove more than ever, through blessing of God, a means of revival to the churches of Christ, and a messenger of salvation to the lost.
