'*Tlie scope and character of the magazine shall he that of a first-class re> 
ligiotis and literary monthly, of the highest character attainable, and 
pervaded, i^hether in its general or religious articles, by a thoroughly 
Christian spirit,"— Order of the Conuuittee. 
Under these directions, it will be devoted to General and Religious Literature, Biographies 
and Travels, Criticisms and Art. 
A sufficient number of the best "writers for the press are employed to furnish all the va- 
riety in the several departments which tiieir scope and importance require to maize them 
rich and instructive. 
The Editorial Department will be a feature of the Magazine. Rev. Dr. Curry, both ex- 
perienced and successful as an editor, entei-s upon his duties with tlie purpose of giving liis 
whole strength to the work before him. 
Eacli number will contain one or more articles illustrated with Wood Engravings^ in the 
best style of this art, adding beaaty and value to the pages. 
The twelve numbei's for the year will contain 1.15:2 pajecs of reading-matter, which, 
published in book form, would make not less tban lifteeii volumes, worth $1.50 each, and 
will comprise a variety that Avjll be more interesting and valuable to the general reader than 
could be procured in books for many times the yearly price of the magazine. 
We earnestly request our people to take the Kalionai Hepository for 1877— to give it oiie 
year's trial, and tliereby determine for themselves whether it is worthy of a place in the 
Christian home.
