OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"We cannot too cordially commend it. It is the most trustworthy and interesting of our Missionary Magazines.”—Standard.

"Very interesting. Vastly different in every way from the dreary missionary records in which the wearied Sunday readers' of thirty years ago sought refuge. Happy the new generation, as far as Sunday is concerned."-Spectator.

"A well-edited repository of news from every part of the Mission Field."-Nonconformist.

"Gives interesting information about missionary doings of a sort which we rarely see elsewhere."-Kecord.

"You cannot open it anywhere without seeing that in style and interest it may fairly compete with any of the magazines. Its goodly row of volumes make up a missionary library, which for extent of subject, breadth of view, cultivation of style, and general attractiveness, far exceeds anything that has been attempted in this line before.”— Guardian.

"A Publication which deserves to be better known. It breathes a broader and more liberal spirit than is often apparent in professedly religious magazines."-Graphic.
