The Herald of the Kingdom of God.

'T'HE First Number of a MonthlyPerio- •*- dical with, the above title,, edited by a Layman, will be published on the 2nd of October next. Its leading objects-will be-rr-lst, "Earnestly to. contend for the faith which was once, delivered unto the Saints," ac-

cording to the Divine .exhortation. . -" 2nd, To call attention to "The Signs" of the Times," indicative as they are of the speedy " coming of the Son of Man in his Kingdom," to take unto him his great power and to reign. 3rd, To afford a medium for the free discussion of all topics embraced in "the things concerning the Kingdom of God and the Name of

Jesus Christ." 4th, To expose the errors of the various false systems of Religion which have from time to time been palmed upon mankind for Truth, and which are so subversive of the Religion of

the Bible. Such being the leading objects of the Herald, it will become identified with no sect or party whatever. The Editor's aim will be to " fight the good fight of faith, with the two-edged eword of the Spirit,' which" is the word of God." "To prove all things, and to hold fast that which is . good." - Being " fully persuaded in liis own mind" that the Truth can stand any test,, and 1 has nothing to fear, he courts the fullest enquiry and examination. ' Whatever appears ,iv the pages of the Herald, whether editorial or otherwise, will at all times be open to the comments of every one who may feel dis.posed to criticise ; and all questions relating to the Word of God will be inserted and answered. It is believed that there are many intelligent persons who see plainly that there is something wrong .in the Religious Systems of the present day, yet are unable- to 'answer the question — What is Truth ? , 'To such " The Herald of the Kingdom of. God* xannot fail to be acceptable: it will show them " the truth as it is in Jesus," and what they " must do. that they may inherit

Everlasting Life." ' . . . , Subscriptions 6s. per annum, payable quarterly. Subscribers' names will be registered by S. G. Hayes, Surgeon, Willis-street ; C. H. Brookes, on the Beach, just below the Superintendent's residence ; Ji G; Cox, and H. Read, Wellington.. , , * August 23, 1854.
