PONSONBY CHEAP SUNDAY AND FOR THE WEEKDAY THE present day is perhaps unexampled for mics, or positively immoral, which are now pushed with so the number of its periodical publications In every department of literature these abound, and naturally exercise a vast influence over the minds of the reading public. Many of them are of a religious character, and are intended, respectively, to be the organs of some denomination or theological party: hence they are very mainly occupied in attacking or defending some special set of opinions, or maintaining those controversies which are most likely to interest the classes of readers among whom they circulate. Of such publications the value may be very great, and the service they do to the cause of truth often very important. But the Christian, it is presumed, does not wish to breathe always the air of controversy, and would find it a relief to study those pages where mere party disputes have no entrance. It was with this presumption that READING, above the understanding of the mechanic or of the child and The Church of England Magazine (under the superintendence of clergymen) was originally prolected-with a desire to place it upon the broad ground of the Church, and to store its columns with devotional matter of such a character as to render it acceptable to all who, whatever their views of party controversy, unite in firmly holding those truths which are embodied in the formularies of the Protestant English Church. The experiment has, under the divine blessing, proved successful. The circulation of the Church of England Magazine has, it is believed, exceeded that of any other periodical in connection with the Church-an evidence that men have rejoiced to be able to take up a work which, while anxious zealously to maintain the purity of the Gospel, has striven to repress error not by hot disputings, but by the simple quiet inculcation of truth. The Clergy have felt that they could safely recommend, such a work to their parishioners-parents, that they could introduce it into their families without fear of its imbuing their children with a knowledge of those things of which they would choose them to be ignorant and much gratitude the conductors of the Church of England Magazine feel to those who have thus contributed to extend the circulation of this work. But widely as it is circulated, it might be, the proprietors think, circulated more widely still. Its price brings it within the reach of all; and its contents are of that varied character, that, while not unsuited to the cultivating mind, they are not been lately made, is the commencing of a series of Views (with Among the various additions and improvements which have descriptions) of the noble Parish Churches of our land.
