The Independent for 1879

Will have to be a VERY GOOD PAPER to satisfy the thousands of readers who have become familiar with its good qualities in the past. But we propose this year to excel the past. We shall continue to print articles from the best writers and thinkers in the country. The departments of Religious News, Literature, Sunday-school, Fine Arts, Science, Missions, School and College, Markets, Farm and Garden, Financial, and Insurance will, as heretofore, be contributed to by specialists in each branch. These departments are famous because they are able and trustworthy.

COOK’S LECTURES.

These famous Lectures, delivered in Boston every Monday, by the Rev. Joseph Cook, will be published in full, together with the Introductory Remarks, beginning in the issue of November 7th.

SERMONS

by eminent clergymen in all parts of the country will continue to be printed.
