A Combination

By Editor

A Combination.—When Dr. Henry M. Field became too old to edit the Evangelist, an independent Presbyterian paper, the ownership and editorship passed to his chief assistant, a lady, Mrs. Houghton. The Evangelist is now merged with Christian Work, another independent (Presbyterian) paper owned and edited by Dr. J. N. Hallock, and now called the Christian Work and Evangelist, with Dr. Hallock, Major Bright, and Mrs. Houghton as editors. It is not to be wondered at that Mrs. Houghton, able as she is, could not conduct successfully a Presbyterian paper, seeing that the lady herself is a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church. It seems to us that there is too much of an inconsistency to make the paper either a religious or denominational success.
