We tender hearty thanks to our correspondents for their papers which have appeared in our present volume, and also for those reserved for the coming year. We believe we have communicated with each of our correspondents privately; if we have not so thanked any we much regret the omission.
May we earnestly ask for continued help in the view of an opening year. We especially desire simple and pointed stories of conversion to God, or of His grace and providence, both among the old and the young. It is a very great assistance to the Editor when the papers are sent early in the year.
Next year we begin a new life, for we have reached our twenty-first year! We hope to start anew with fresh energy, and though we purpose making some changes in our Magazine, we shall, generally speaking, retain our old lines.
