XXIII.-NEW SERIES. સાઇ London: ELLIOT STOCK, 62, PATERNOSTER-ROW. 1 8 6 6. PREFACE. ANOTHER Volume of the "PRIMITIVE CHURCH MAGAZINE” is now completed. Twenty-three years ago it was originated for the purpose of contending "for the faith once delivered to the saints," and the Scriptural observance of the ordinances that have been committed In the present volume, no less than in its predecessors, unto us. this purpose has been steadily kept in view. The necessity of a Periodical like this, notwithstanding the numerous other periodicals that exist, is rendered increasingly apparent by the tendency of the present times to rationalism on the one hand, and ritualism on the other; nor will such necessity cease until all Christians shall in practice, as well as theory, acknowledge "One LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM." |
