A periodical devoted to the interests of the United Presbyterian Church of Canada, with focus on missionary work, revival news, and Calvinistic theology. Includes material from other denominations, such as C. H. Spurgeon and Archbishop Whately. It began in 1854 and we don't find a record of it after 1861. These two years cover the period of the Prayer Meeting Revival that began in NYC and spread to many places.
