THE
Christian Union and Religious Memorial.
EDITED BY
REV. ROBERT BAIRD, D. D.
PUBLISHED MONTHLY,
AT TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE.
This magazine is devoted to the cause of Christian Union among all Evangelical denominations, and its great object will be to make the Church below more like the Church above, by the infusion of that spirit of Christian love and brotherly kindness which should distinguish all the members of Christ’s body, whatever name they bear on earth. It will contain essays on Christian union and collateral subjects, by some of the best writers at home and abroad.
Another essential feature of our work will be a monthly memorial or resumé of the progress of religion in all lands. We shall pay particular attention to missionary operations throughout the world, and keep our readers acquainted with the progress of religion in foreign countries by the various missionaries there employed.
Our foreign correspondence will be extensive and various, and our readers will thus be kept informed of the changes and progress of events in Europe.
Although we shall keep clear of discussions on doctrinal points, we shall feel at full liberty to animadvert freely on whatever we may deem errors in practice, wherever they may exist. At the same time, we shall advocate, with all our powers, every true Christian reform which shall tend to improve and elevate mankind.
Our work has already received the highest commendations, and our arrangements will enable us to make considerable improvements the coming year.

RECOMMENDATIONS.
The Christian Union and Religious Memorial, edited by Dr. Baird, is a rich repository of valuable matter, statistical and historical, bearing upon the interests of religion in all parts of the world.—N. Y. Observer.
It breathes the spirit of Christianity, and contains notices of the progress of Christ’s kingdom among the different branches of the Church. Conducted by Dr. Baird and his able associates, it cannot fail to do great good. Its view of foreign Churches is peculiarly valuable, from the Dr.’s long residence in Europe.—Lutheran Observer.
Under the supervision of the Rev. Dr. Baird, the Christian Union is becoming a highly valuable publication, and will, no doubt, obtain an extensive circulation. The principles of Christian Union, as advocated by the editor, are such as all evangelical denominations may unite in, without sacrificing any peculiar principles of their own.—Christian Secretary.
It is a precious monthly, published by S. Hueston, 139 Nassau street, New York.—Christian Intelligencer.
We deem the Union an important auxiliary in spreading a knowledge of the condition and prospects of religious denominations—a knowledge, which, we are sorry to say, is not as extensively cultivated as it should be, either by the ministry or the private members of the church.—S. W. Baptist Chronicle.
Every bishop, minister, elder, deacon and class-leader should have this valuable monthly. Christians of every name must unite against the works of darkness, banish for ever their little sectarianisms, or the world cannot be saved.—Golden Rule.
The statistical information furnished by this publication, and its notices in a comprehensive view and permanent form, of the manifestations and progress of the Church of Christ in all lands, render it valuable and worthy of patronage.—Southern Christian Advocate.
The missionary and statistical information upon its pages must render
it of great value as a book of reference, while its essays and
discussions combine much to interest and instruct the serious mind.
Its catholic spirit entitles it to the confidence of Christians of
every name.—
