BUCHAN’S 
CAEBOLIC 
MEBICIMAL SOAP 
CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE. 
The Healing, Purifying, and Disinfecting properties of Car¬ 
bolic Acid are among the most wonderful facts disclosed by 
modern science. The best, safest, and most convenient meth¬ 
od of using this wonderful Curative is in the form of Soaps. 
This Soap is highly prized by physicians and nurses for the 
sick-room. It purities and disinfects all unpleasant and dan¬ 
gerous odors, prevents the spread of contagion, and is invalu¬ 
able in curing sores, eruptions, and all cutaneous diseases. 
Buchan's Carbolic Medicinal Soap is for sale 
at all Druggists.

Reasons why it should circulate largely in Christian 
Families: 
THE MAY2TAED

SPORTING and MINTING. 
The Best Gun for all purposes ever manufactured. For i 
full description, with price list, address 
1. It is a religious paper. It has convictions, and dares to state them. It lias acreed, just as every 
honest man lias a skeleton. Ii has a depth of experience and breadth of charity to cover its creed. 
2. It presents the great interests of reform without fear or favor, it is devoted 
to the cause of Missions, Church Extension, Freedmen, and Sunday-Schools. It also contends for the 
sanctity of the Sabbath, the inviolability of our Common Schools, the retention of the Bible in our Com¬ 
mon Schools, public and private integrity, and temperance, with distinguished ability and clearness. 
3. Its Editorials are widely read, and frequently quoted. They strike the great ques¬ 
tions that agitale the public mind, and by a bold, independent, prompt, and matured policy, hold the very 
first rank in molding public opinion. 
4. Its literary work is of a high order. Its BookNotices, epitomizing and criticising, are un¬ 
surpassed. 
5. Its Contributed Articles are the product of the best minds. The first page of any number is worth 
more than the subscription price for a year. 
6. Its Church News is abundant from all parts of the world. 
7. Its General News, now equal to that of any of the religious weeklies, with more space next year, will 
supersede the need of any other weekly newspaper. 
8. Its Sunday-School Helps are extensively quoted in other papers. 
9. Its Science and Art Department, for which arrangements have been made, will not be sur¬ 
passed by any other weekly.

NEW DEPARTURES. 
1. Rev. Joseph Cook's Popular Boston Monday Lectures, (thirtyin all,) will be pub¬ 
lished under copyright, in full,' with the author’s corrections. It is a grand treat to see Cook Iran die the 
scientists. Each lecture is worth more than the cost of a year’s subscription. 
2. An Agricultural Department. As a substitute for this Department ill the paper, we have made a 
special arrangement with the ORANGE JUDD COMPANY, by which we can offer The American 
Agriculturist, acknowledged lo he the best agricultural and horticultural publication in the world 
on easy terms in connection with The Christian Advocate. Any subscriber, who wishes both the Advocate 
and tlie American Agriculturist can have both of them from the reception of their subscription till the end 
0/1878, for $3.75, which furnishes the American Agriculturist to all desiring it for less money than is re¬ 
quired to secure it in any other way. This Journal, illustrated with from 600 to 700 original engravings 
in each volume, and full of practical suggestions, interesting to Farmers, Gardeners, Fruit-Growers, 
Stock-Raisers , Owners of Small Plots , or Lots in Country, Tillage , and City, will give to our readers much 
valuable information to be found nowhere else. 
3. The Leader and his Class. A Department that will consist chiefly of original contributions. 
4. The Children’s Club. Something for each one. 
5. Eclectic Literature. Selections from the Foreign and Home Magazines in each number will enable 
The Christian Advocate to do the work of an Eclectic Magazine. 
PREMIUMS. 
1. An elegant steel engraving, on paper 21x2014 inches, painted by that eminent artist, S. J. Guy, N. A., and en¬ 
graved by A. H. Ritchie, N. A., the prince of steel engravers, will be given to every subscriber, old and new. It is a 
companion-piece to ‘‘Mercy at the Wicket Gate,” and is pronounced by the best of judges superior to any premium 
heretofore offered by any paper to individual subscribers. No publisher of an equally large, good, and original steel 
engraving could afford to put it on the market, in the ordinary way, at a retail price of less than Five Dollars. We 
can give to each Advocate subscriber an original engraving of such size, artistic beauty, and permanent value, only 
because the greatest item of expense, the original cost of the steel-plate, is divided into aver fifty-three thousand parts, 
bringing the actual cost to us of the premium to each subscriber within our reach. 
II. 1. We will give to every agent who shall have increased within his charge the list of subscribers for 1878 over 
the list within that charge for 1877, by three, at full price, $2.70 each, including postage,* or who shall have secured 
three such subscribers within a charge where we have none for 1877, Phillips Brooks' Tale Lectures on Preaching, re¬ 
cently published by Dutton & Co., and also Lectures delivered at Yale College last, month by Rev. Dr. Dale, of Bir¬ 
mingham, England, just announced by A. S. Barnes & Co. Retail price of the two volumes, $3. 
2. For an increase, as above stated, of five subscribers, we will give Webster's Unabridged Quarto Pictorial Dic¬ 
tionary , new edition. Publishers’ retail price, $12. 
3. For an increase, as above stated, of ten subscribers, we will give The Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, and 
Clarke's Commentary on the New Testament, ($S.) Aggregate retail prices, $20. 
4. For an increase, as above stated, of fifteen subscribers, we will give The Webster's Unabridged Dictionary , 
Fletcher's Works, ($10), and Bishop Haven's Mexico, ($5). Aggregate retail prices, $27. 
5. For an increase, ns stated above, of twenty subscribers, we will give The Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, 
Clarke's Commentary, complete, six vols., ($24). Aggregate retail prices, $36. 
6. For an increase, as above stated, of twenty-seven subscribers, we will give The Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, 
and Chambers' Cyclopaedia, English Edition, ten vols.. ($30). Aggregate retail prices, $42. 
The Dictionary and other premium hooks will be delivered at 805 Broadway, N. Y., to agents entitled to receive 
them, at any time on the payments of the amounts of their subscription list. 
Sample copies of The Christian Advocate, to aid in canvassing, will lie furnished without, charge ; alsoa copy of the 
American Agriculturist, to agents who will canvass for it in connection with The Christian Advocate. Price, post¬ 
paid, The Christian Advocate, $2.70. The Christian Advocate and American Agriculturist, together, post-paid, $3.75. 
To all our agents we say, Secure the Dictionary, and as many as possible of the other premium books. If you don’t 
want them for yourselves or your children, you can readily dispose of them. 
* For example, if the list was twenty subscribers for 1877, It must be twenty-three subscribers for 1878. We give this 
illustration because some have wrongly understood us to make our offer for three new subscribers in a charge where we 
have subscribers for 1877.
