PROSPECTUS FOR 1863.
This long-established paper has now nearly completed its thirty-second volume, and notwithstanding the severe calamities in which the country is involved, and which tax most heavily in men and money those States in which its circulation is largest, it is nearing the close of another eventful year with its circulation unimpaired—a matter of special gratification, as showing that its course, in these trying times, has been generally approved, and that it has been more widely useful than ever the past year, by its firm and cordial support of the Government when assailed by a wicked rebellion.
ITS COURSE OF EVENTS,
carefully compiled from original and other sources, furnishes from week to week a current
HISTORY OF THE PRESENT CIVIL WAR,
which has been highly prized, for its fullness and accuracy, by all its readers.
While it has aimed never to overstep the limits of a religious journal by violence of language or the discussion of merely political questions, it has constantly held up the cause in which we are engaged as
THE CAUSE OF OUR COUNTRY AND OF LIBERTY,
and for which it was the sacred duty of every Christian citizen to be ready to sacrifice his property and his life.
The Evangelist also contains a weekly summary of intelligence from
ALL RELIGIOUS DENOMINATIONS, REPORTS OF ALL BENEVOLENT SOCIETIES, A LARGE HOME AND FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE, FULL NOTICES OF NEW BOOKS, A MONEY ARTICLE AND REVIEW OF THE MARKETS, AND A CHILDREN'S AND FARMERS' DEPARTMENT, richly supplied with original original and selected articles.
These features render it a COMPLETE FAMILY NEWSPAPER.
Terms—Two Dollars, in advance.
