Excerpt from The Baptist Magazine for 1834, Vol. 26 Among the various events which may assist us in taking note of the rapid flight of time, and its accompanying vicissitudes, we are reminded that the Baptist Magazine, in connexion with many interesting and impressive incidents, has now existed more than aquarter of a century. Considering what a concurrence of circumstances is essential to the uninterrupted continuance of a monthly publication, during such a period, chiefly depending, as it has all along done, upon the gratuitous exertions of those whose other avoca tions have been neither few nor unimportant, that it should be still in a course of encouraging circulation, is certainly an occasion for thankfulness and perseverance. Deeply conscious, as the Editors have uniformly been, how much the energies of the denomination, to whose service this work is appropriated, if so applied, might improve its pages and extend its sale, they have, in these annual addresses, and through other mediums of solicitation, urgently requested such assistance; and they are most happy in having this additional opportunity earnestly and respectfully to renew the. Invitation, which they sincerely hope may prove more effective than any which has been previously presented.
