THE BIBLE TREASURY is intended to supply an acknowledged want in religious periodical literature, by pro- An important part of our review will be occupied viding a popular organ for the interchange of practical with the discussion or illustration of Biblical subjects, opinion upon Biblical subjects.

We have obtained the co-operation of in the person, the work, and the exaltation of the Lord Christian brethren who are able to place at the service Jesus Christ.

It is a subject upon which almost all earnest also said, that "the common people heard Him gladly." Christians are deeply exercised; and, happily, it is We desire for ourselves and our contributors, to emulate ground common to all believers. His example. We frankly admit, however, that we look and long. for the personal and visible advent of our Lord Jesus Christ; and are as fully persuaded that He will thus come a second time and take to Himself His great power and reign, as we are that He came once visibly and personally, in weakness and humiliation. With us, this is a polar truth, harmonizing much that would otherwise be discordant, and giving order and arrangement to elements, which without it, would be chaotic and non-attractive. We believe that the hearty reception of this truth would quicken the church of Christ into new and energetic life; and we shall seek, by suitable argument and illustration, to promulgate it amongst all classes of evangelical Christians, without reference to theological or ecclesiastical distinctions. Further than this, we are not the advocates or exponents of any particular system of prophetic interpretation, nor is THE BIBLE TREASURY connected, either directly or indirectly, with any society, church, or other organization. IN THE BIBLE TREASURY how can we forget the land and people of Israel? From time to time we shall endeavour to present our readers with accurate records in connection with these deeply interesting subjects, which are so intimately bound up with the future history of the church and the world; and it affords us no small gratification to number more than one Hebrew Christian brother amongst our stated contributors. As far as our space will admit, we hope to chronicle passing events, such as public meetings, lectures, &c.; and to give brief and compendious notices of the work of God in various parts of the world; in so far as these events or notices may bear upon our leading objects. We shall hold ourselves at liberty occasionally to open our columns to any important topic, the discussion of which will be likely to bring the church back to the first principles of the Word of God, or to unite Christian brethren; and we shall be glad to admit the communications of any who have useful information to supply, or who are anxious for the solution of questions profitable We shall not refuse to open our columns occasionally to to believers in general. Finally, we shall strive earnthose who may differ from us upon this important topic. estly for "peace to the brethren, and love with faith, One of our objects in commencing THE BIBLE TREASURY from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ;" is, to provide a literary platform for the discussion of adding heartily, "Grace be with all them that love prophetic and other practical subjects; and we hope to our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity." Amen. [ED. No. 1. Vol. I.-June 1, 1856. |
