The Leader is an established favourite in thousands of Christian homes all over the 

 country, and has been welcomed with equal cordiality by ministers and members of all 

 the evangelical churches, who have generously recognised the catholic spirit in which it 

 is conducted. 



The News of the Churches is a feature the value of which has been recognised by 

 many. This department of the paper gives a weekly conspectus of all that is transpiring 

 in every section of the Church ; and the pains taken to make it complete in substance, 

 yet brief in form, is greatly relished by busy men, whose time is of even greater value 

 than money. More especially on account of this feature, the Chrtstia/i Leader is exten- 

 sively despatched to missionaries in foreign lands, and to natives of the old country 

 resident in the United States, and also to India, Canada, and other Dependencies of the 

 British Empire. 



" An evangelic gem. Its Christianity is catholic, and its literary taste is sound and 

 pure." .... " Its editor seems above all things to have the faculty of condensa- 

 tion. On looking over the table of contents one is lost in admiration — for there seems to 

 be something about everything."— i'V/e^i/aVe Journal.
