A Monthly Journal of Literature, Science, the Fine Arts, &c., devoted to
the Religious, Moral, Physical, and Social Elevation of the great body
of the People.
This periodical, projected and conducted by a committee of Clergy and
Laity, in the heart of the manufacturing districts, is intended to
express the sympathies of earnest Churchmen towards both their brethren
in the faith, and their fellow-men in general.
Designed to avoid unreality, lukewarmness, and dry dogmatism, as well as
compromise and controversy--and not unmindful of things temporal, whilst
chiefly directed to things eternal--it is hoped that it may assist to
refresh the faithful, correct the erring, and win the unbeliever.
A trial is respectfully requested for it, and that at once.
It is a work of love, not of lucre; and, as such, is commended to the
brotherhood.
It will be eminently fitted for parochial distribution and, by God's
blessing, may do its part towards removing English heathenism.
*** Suggestions and communications, written in a plain, earnest, and
attractive style, are respectfully requested, and may be addressed to
the editors of "The Church of the People," care of MR. SOWLER, St. Ann's
Square, Manchester, to whom books for review, and advertisements, may be
sent.
