THE CHRISTIAN' TIMES WEEKLY NEWSPAPER,
A POLITICAL, ECCLESIASTICAL, AND • LITERARY JOURNAL,
AND ADVOCATE OF CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY,
PublWted every Friday Afternoon,
Price Sixpence, stamped, ,or Six Shillings, and Sixpence-per
Quarter, paid in advance.
rpHis JOURNAlphas been established Nrith e.view
to supply a'long felt deficiency in the Religious Newspaper
Press of Great Britain. •In principle, it is at once Catholic
and Nonconformist, Catholic in relation to all communions
holding evangelical truth; Nonconformist, in relation to those
religious bodies which are endowed by the e.
Wp hold that all who confess the n of our Lord Jesus
Christ, mid who seek his-glory a e great object of life, are
brethren; that, notwithstandi 1 minor diversities, a bro-
therhood obtains amongst t -i, irrespective of their own will;
that in proportion as• tl • . rotherhood is recognised by the
church, the church vi ecome visible to the world, acknow-.
ledge the mission he 'MEssl4.n, and yield him unfeigned
obedience.'-:;::In card; we hold .that to cultivate the fraternal
epirit, among members of the" household of faith;" is one of
•the surest means of promoting, havpiness and fraternity in the
great family of man.
In the advocacy of this•great •truth, however, it js .not our
intention to overlook others of equal importance. We have no
disposition to sacrifice our Nonconformity to our Catholicity.
We shall therefore uphold the great doctrine of the EXCLU-
SIVE SOVEREIGNTY •OF CHRIST IN HIS CHURCH, the
irreconcileable antagonism of the .things of the flesh and the
things of the spirit; and, as we conceive, its only just and ap-
propriate corollary, TIIE VOLUNTARY PRINCIPLE. OV. the
treat subject of

SECULAR POLITICS,
we _shall give no uncertain sound. /Guided by the generous
spirit of our beneficent religion-,-lifierty..trutb, peace, pro Toss,
willificd in us constant advocates. The fullest rights of citizen-
ship appear to its not only perfectly compatible with loyalty .to
the throne, and obedience to the powers that be, but we deom
the recognition of the former the best safeguard and guarantee
of the latter.

A leadiug feature of the CHRISTIAN TOIF.S will be its
ORIGINAL CONTAIBUTIONS,
which will be furnished by a varietyuf writers belonging to
different evangelical denominations. It is hoped, that by an
unfettered-expression of opinion upon
.political and ecclesiasti-
cal questions, in which all the unendowed communions of
Britain possess a common interest, the way wiV. thus be pre-
pared for tlidir acting more in concert than.basever yet been
attempted.
A considerable space in every number will be devoted to
selections iere from -the leading every
of the varictUS religious
journals. "fltif, department, entitled
...SPIRIT OF THE PRFSS,
will present advantages to the provincisi reader not to be met
with in any other newspaper. It will enable him to obtain at a
glance the sentiments of the various religious organs:upon any
topic of public importance, and thus, to a certain extent insure
the benefit which is derived by subscribing to several journals
of different shades of :opinion.

While faithfully recording the views of its contemporaries,
however, the CHRISTIAN TIMES will not hesitate freely to
avow its own sentiments•apon all great questions which call for
the judgment of the ,public journalist. A due proportion of
its space will be occupied witit
LEADING ARTICLES.

This department will be distinct from that devoted to Original
Contributions, anti will Le conducted in a tone and temper
which it is hoped will secure the support of that growing class
of Protestants who are desirous. promoting the separation of
the Church from the State chiefly as a means of promoting the
great cause of Christian Union.
Thecolumns of the CHRISTIAN TIMES will be found to
embrace an extensive

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE
on Polit;ical am! Religions subie.cts. Under the head of
TUFDLOGY AND FOREIGN LITERATURE,

there will appear, in an English dress, some gf the best compo-
sitions of eminent Foreign Divines. -
LITERARY CRITICISM
will receive its due share of attention ; while GENERAL
NEWS and ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE,both foreign
and domestic, will be presented in a carefully condensed and
classified form, With respect to our
COMMERCIAL ARRANGEMENTS,
we may at once avow, that we aim at a select, rather than an
immense circulation. Fearless of the charge of egotism, we
declare our mission is to the teachers and educated mem-
bers of the Church of Christ, into which rank we.hope to assist
in elevating many who are now besting their way thither,
amidst much difficulty on every hand, and with little or no
help from the religious press.
Quality rather than quantity; condensation rather than dif-
fusiveness ; thought, rather than mere words—these will be
our leading aim in the literary c:mduct of our journal ; and as
alt these conditions involve lat;our and expense, we have fixed
the price of the CHRISTIAN TIMES at Sixpence per Copy, or
Six Shillings and Sixpence per Quarter, paid in advance.
To ADVERTISERS, especially Publishers and Booksellers,
it offers an eligible medium fur bringing their announcements
before the Re igmus Public, as it circulates among ministers,
students, and respectable families of all evangelical denomina-
tions: All quack and other disreputable advertisementS are
carefully excluded from its columns.
