MONTHLY RECORD.

Congregationalism in New York. - The Hammond Street Church in this great Nineveh, formerly pertaining to the Old School Presbyterians, has been reconstituted as a Congregational Church, under very promising auspices; and has called Rev. Dr. William Patton, formerly a New School Presbyterian of great note, to be its pastor. Who knows but that Congregationalism may prove to be a grand solvent for melting down the animosities between the two branches of the Presbyterian Church? - Another church of our free and active order is to be organized on the Second Avenue, and promises to start in full-grown vigor at its first formation. The more that Congregationalism is known and understood, the more will its liberal and scriptural character, so suited to the genius of our institutions, commend it to the regards of our free-spirited and intelligent countrymen.

New Papers in New York.-The New School, or, as they prefer to be called, the Constitutional Presbyterians, have taken measures to establish a religious paper, as their organ, in the city of New York. It is to be called the Annalist, and Professor Stowe is invited to place himself within the embracing arms of the editorial chair. The Congregationalists also have made large provision for a new paper to sustain their growing interests. What is to be its specific character we know not, except that it is to be extremely vivacious. May it help on the millenium, and last to the end of it!

TESTIMONIALS.

THE subscribers hereby express their conviction, that a periodical of the character of the CHRISTIAN OBSERVATORY is demanded by the wants of the religious community; and they heartily commend it to the members of evangelical congregations, and to all with whom their opinion may have influence. It is their purpose, also, to contribute to its pages, so far as their duties and engagements will permit.

Manchester, Feb. 21, 1848.

I should do wrong to myself, did I not express my hearty approval of the OBSERVATORY. I love its thorough-going, unbending, Puritan character, its unflinching advocacy of the "old paths," and firm adherence to "sound doctrine" in these days of slippery theology. May it live and flourish, so long as there is work to be done for the defence of the truth.

B. F. NORTHROP.

THE subscribers, having been constant readers of the CHRISTIAN OBSERVATORY, can cheerfully recommend it to the Christian public as a sound, able, and judicious publication. It is well adapted to the times, and worthy of extensive patronage.

Rev. Dr. Woodbridge, of Hadley, Mass.

The character, objects and execution of the CHRISTIAN OBSERVATORY are, in the opinion of the subscriber, such as to give it a just title to the warm and extensive patronage of the friends of evangelical truth, of the primitive order of the New England churches, of the junction of liberty with conservatism, and of practical and experimental piety. JOHN WOODBRIDGE.

CHRISTIAN OBSERVATORY.

VOLUME FIRST.

THE first volume of this work, for 1847, contains a series of articles on the Inspiration of the Bible; another on the use and necessity of creeds; another exposing the mistakes and misstatements, in disparagement of Orthodoxy, made by ex-president Quincy in his History of Harvard College; and another of lives and sketches of eminent Puritans. Besides these, there is a great variety of articles and reviews, none long, and many short and condensed, relating to subjects of religious and practical interest. The whole forms a handsome volume, combining utility with entertainment. It may be had, on application at this office, neatly bound in cloth, at very moderate terms.

VOLUME SECOND.

THE second volume of this work contains a series of articles on the common English translation of the Bible, including a more full account than has ever before been given of the eminent scholars by whom it was made. It has another series affording a minute history of the rise and progress of Unitarianism in New England. There are also numerous articles of general interest, on important subjects relating to morals and religion. The volume may be had at this office, bound to match with the first, or singly.

VOLUME THIRD.

All new subscribers, paying in advance, may have the first and second volumes, neatly bound in cloth, for one dollar a volume. As we shall hereafter print no more copies than are wanted for actual circulation, we shall not, in future, be able to furnish any back volumes except the first and second as above mentioned.

N. B. Competent agents are wanted to circulate this work. A liberal compensation will be given.
