The True Missionary.

By Jos. Clarke

THIS is truly an interesting and important paper, it being the representative of the tract and missionary work. It embodies a large amount of information relative to the tract and missionary work, anticipates inquiries, and gives clear light upon just those points necessary to be understood. Also, there are new and interesting articles from the pens of our best writers, which are eminently fitted to edify the true-hearted workers in the cause. And there are single articles in this paper, which are not only worth many times the price of the paper, but are inestimable as incentives and exhortations to zeal in the cause. No one who is a consistent Christian can afford to do without this paper.

The True Missionary evidently has a mission of its own, and is not like any other paper; but, bent on its work of love, it embarks upon its mission of usefulness, sensible of its responsibility, and confident of its ultimate success. The cause it advocates has assumed such importance and magnitude that the REVIEW could no longer find room in its columns for the reports and articles relative to this subject; and this paper is only a natural outgrowth of the great work going on in the world.

Through the kindness of some unknown friend, I received the January number as soon as it was published. I immediately subscribed, and sewed the first three numbers (Jan., Feb., and March) together and keep them for reading, lending, and for reference, and look upon them as a loving reminder of work and duty. Reader, if you have not subscribed already, do not delay to do so, for delays are dangerous.
