Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cottage Magazine, or Plain Christian's Library, Vol. 27: For 1838 Having, by the good Providence of God, been brought to the close of another year of our Edi torial labours, we address ourselves to the pleasing task which annually devolves on us of saying a few words to our Readers and Subscribers; and we would not allow the present opportunity to pass of sincerely thanking them for their kind pa tronage and support. We also feel greatly in debted to our obliging Correspondents for their numerous favours, and we trust to their kindness for future contributions. It will be our anxious study, in dependence on the Divine Blessing, during the forth-coming year, to devote our best exertions to render The Cottage Magazine in every way worthy of increased circulation. In fulfilling our duty throughout a year of the peculiar interest which has characterized the last, we have endeavoured, to select such articles, and to provide such subjects, as, in our best judgment, we have deemed most suitable for the edification and interest of our Readers; especially bearing in mind that the perilous times in which we live, render it necessary, in the highest degree, for every one who values sound Christian principles, to cry aloud, and spare not the sins of the times. When the Church of Christ is assailed by open enemies without, and false friends within, and the vile plea of expediency has Ien the place of sound views of right and wrong - under such pain ful circumstances, we have, indeed, deemed it our duty to fortify the minds of our Readers with pure scriptural principles, and to exhibit in their naked deformity, the hideousness of popery and infi delity, both of which are making such inroads on the public mind. By the Divine Blessing, we shall continually strive to shew the evil and de grading tendency of these soul-destroying prin ciples, which are daily lowering our religious and moral standard, and bringing about that state of national feeling which has caused other countries to be the constant scene of anarchy and strife. We would especially endeavour to correct the ill effects of the vile publications of the day, and shew our Readers, in simple style, the doctrine and practice of those who take the Bible for their guide.
