TO CHRISTIAN FAMILIES.
I respectfully invite the patronage of families for the New York Weekly Witness, a paper specially adapted to interest them. It has a very full synopsis of the news of the week, with the daily comments thereon of the leading New York Dailies. It has also very full and reliable market and financial reports, got up for it with great care. It has many columns of family reading of the most interesting character; and a Home Department, containing three columns of letters from its lady readers, and one column of letters from the children. It has a report of every day’s Fulton Street Prayer-Meeting, which has been kept up from its first number, and occasional sermons by celebrated preachers. It has departments for agriculture, the Sunday-school lesson, temperance and general correspondence, much of which is from the West and South, setting forth the advantages of different States and Territories for immigrants. The Witness is thoroughly evangelical, and a strenuous advocate of total abstinence from intoxicating drinks and tobacco. It is entirely independent of party or sect—aiming only to promote the best interests of the people for time and eternity. To this end it advocates Christian missions, Sabbath observance, and every good cause. The Weekly Witness has attained the unparalleled circulation, for a religious journal, of 72,000, and aims at a much larger circulation. The price is only $1.50 a year, or 50 cents for four months, payable in advance, and the paper stops when subscription expires. On 1st January, 1878, it begins its seventh year, when I hope the circulation will increase to 100,000. Specimen copies will be sent free on application.
