With a rapidly Increasing subscription list
and the welcome it has met in thousands of
homes, the Sunday School Times is about to
enter on its seventh year.
Every successive volume adds to the evil

neighborhood, it is hailed with pleasure by
Parents and Teachers as supplying want
they had long felt
The Sunday School Times contains, from
week to week, stirring incidents of interest
from the Camp, the Field, and the Hospital
showing what heroic Christian fortitude and
endurance are exhibited by our brethren in
arms. 1t is entirely undenominational, and

ireside.

interest will be commenced from the pen of a
gifted author, one who has written some Of

their observation occupy nearly five columns of

part of the city is. The condition of New

our crowded population continues to live in

that surround them is a mystery Of the most
profound character. Certain it is that New York

the world, and the circumstances attending it,
as foretold in Scripture, are both natural, and
have strict coincidence with scientific proba-

at midday-''first of a dazzling white, then
reddish yellow, and lastly of an ashy pale
color. The conflagration lasted, and was visi-

Three of the former professors. like General
Sherman, remained loyal to the Union have
been left out, and three rebel officers have been
put in their places. One of these is Major
West, a graduate of West Point, and a rebel

will conduct it with the most jealous loyalty to
