Tho present number of the Visitor
appears under uew auspices, resell
jug from its transfer to tho Genseal
Syuod by Us editor UM&Jof, Bov. Dr.
Bade, on terms deemed acceptable
by that Body. Tbe former editors
labored faithfully in. sustaining It
thus far amid difficulties and with
I sacrifices, which they stone can frilly
f| jri(|imate. They conducted it with
marked ability and a devoted church
love, which we may do well to emu
late. { It may seem presumptuous in
us to accept the appoiutsoeot as their
successors. We can not hope to give
it a purer devotion, or equal editorial
ability. But it was not a matter of
desire, or choice, but of reluctant
consent with us, in view of the alter
native preaeed upon the General
Syuod, either to aocept the propoei
tiou now, and make one last and tie
termined effort to sustain a church
weekly within our bounds, or allow
it to pass forever beyond oar con
trol. We feel constrained to attempt
what may be regarded by come ae
a doubtful experiment Its
will depend upon the response which
the Church at large will give ns da
ring the next few months. Ws
