Believing that the Christian weekly pajM-r should be the advocate of all that is good, and so fully
meet the requirements of the family as well as the general reader, ami that this requirement is especially
felt on this coast, the H erald will have s|iecial departments devoted to«-0hose interests, most nearly re­
lated to the work of the church, which are indeed the auxiliaries of the church in her work of doing good.

relations of teachers, parents and pupils to each other, decisions of state, city and county boards of educa­
tion, educational news. etc. The 332 columns |>er year will equal or exceed the quantity of matter
given in tl^ monthly sch<M)l\journals at tin- same price, and the editor Inn ing had editorrTiA^j^e of dif­
ferent educational |H-ri<slieals will make an effort to make this department ~]H-cially vJhiable and alone
well worth the subscription price to every teacher ami friend of education.

TEMPERANCE DEPARTMENT.
One of the most important questions-that is now or will come before the American people for inahy
that must necessarily come la-fore the monstrous demon, strong drink, shall be vanquished. Our Temja-r-
ance Department will la- conducted as a regular weekly temja-rance paja-r in which the plea will la- tor
legal prohibition and a united effort on the part of temperance societies an<l the church to crush thy- monster
ere he grasps the rising generation and shakes the foundations of all our institutions. S|a-cial invitations
have la-en extended to leading teiii]a*rance workers to aid us. ami all the friuhds of teni|a-ranee ambmem-
lairs of temperance organisations everywhere are most cordially invited to co-qj»erate with ns in this great
work.
