A UNIQUE WEEKLY.
THE NEW YORK WEEKLY WITNESS,
Now in its ninth year, has a circulation of fifty-three thousand, scattered over the entire continent. From the first it has maintained a thoroughly independent stand in politics, discussing all public questions of interest from a Christian standpoint. In religion it takes the same ground with the Evangelical Alliance; in temperance, with the National Temperance Society, and as regards the oppressed races, with the American Missionary Association.
It gives summaries of the week’s news, full Prices Current and Financial Reports, and copious selections from the best editorials of the New York daily papers of both parties. It also gives reports of important religious and temperance meetings and makes a specialty of a daily report of the Fulton Street Prayer Meeting, which has been a much-prized portion of the paper. It stands almost alone in the New York press in reporting the Progress of the Independent Catholic Movement.
A chief specialty of the Witness is its Home Department, consisting of letters from women, discussing questions of domestic and social interest. So much is this department prized that every week for several years has brought more letters from all parts of the country than we can insert in the three columns allotted to it. There is also a column of children’s letters for which we have received a constant overflowing stream of juvenile correspondence. The interest with which children read this column is remarkable.
There is an extensive literary department of the Witness filled with tales, mostly for children, and extracts from the best weekly and monthly papers. It has also a department for letters from all parts of the Union, chiefly from the South and West, giving information concerning various parts the country.
The Witness will be found to contain more readable, instructive, and interesting matter than perhaps any other weekly, and to combine in one sheet the excellencies of a newspaper, a commercial paper, a religious paper, a temperance paper, an agricultural paper, and a mother’s magazine—all for $1.50 a year; or five copies, directed separately, for $6.
We also publish an eight-page weekly entitled SABBATH READING, each number having a first-class Sermon and the best religious and temperance matter we can glean from American and British periodicals. Each number contains the Sabbath-school lesson, and a report of Fulton Street Prayer Meeting. 50 cents a year.
ALSO,
GEMS OF POETRY, an eight-page weekly, containing selections of the choicest poetry in the English language. 75 cents a year. First volume, from 1st June to 31st December, 40 cents.
Specimen copies of these publications sent free. They all stop when subscription expires.
