IN March 1835, a monthly periodical entitled "The Millennial Harbinger and Voluntary Church Advocate," was issued from the press, by Mr. W. Jones of London. We were informed in the first number, that the leading object of that work would be to furnish the British public with authentic information respecting the state and progress of the gospel in America - that Mr. Campbell, who may be justly esteemed the ablest writer of the day, had transmitted to the Editor a copy of all his printed works, amounting to nearly twenty volumes, comprising a great variety of the choicest, most elaborate, and elegant essays on theological and other subjects that are to be found in the English language; and that these essays would be communicated through the pages of the "Millennial Harbinger." For sixteen months this promise was fulfilled by the Editor, with great discrimination and credit to himself, and much edification to his readers. In the month of June, 1836, the public were informed that in consequence of a long and severe affliction, the infirmities attendant upon old age, and the Editor's great desire to accomplish other objects which, in his estimation, were of paramount importance, the "Harbinger" must from that month be discontinued. This announcement was received by many of his readers with mingled feelings of disappointment and grief, yet, at the same time, with resignation to the will of their heavenly Father, who doeth all things well.
