7 Advoc. Peace 1 (1847-1848)

handle is hein.journals/wrldaf7 and id is 1 raw text is: ADV.OCATE OF PEACE. JAN. AND FEB., 1847. NEW VOLUME. THE Advocate has been the past year in the hands of a gentle- man distinguished by his-zeal and ability in the advocacy of our cause ; but his absence from the country, and his purpose of hence- forth devoting himself chiefly to the League of Universal Brother- hood, oblige us to take our periodical again into our own hands. We shall hope, however, for continued aid from all the late con- tributors to its pages, and trust it will thus become a still worthier and more effective organ of our Society, and a fuller record of its operations, and of whatever is doing in any way through the world to hasten the promised era when nations shall learn war no more. NEED OF THE ADVOCATE. Some of our friends, not duly reflecting on the necessities of the case, and looking mainly at the large, if not excessive increase of periodicals at the present day, have occasionally urged us to discon- timue ours, and depend on religious newspapers. We gladly would, if we safely could ; but such a step, we fear, would be fatal to our cause. Every considerable enterprise of the kind has its weekly, monthly or quarterly organ of communication with the public; and we too must have ours, or drop from our hands the staff of progress and success. We hope yet to enlist the entire press of our country, secular as well as religious, in habitual, earnest, effective advocacy of peace ; but our experience has already taught us the impossibility of relying with safety upon even the best papers to plead our cause throu;*h sunshine and storm. They may do-they have xdone, much for it; but they cannot be expected to meet all its emergencies promptly and fully. It must have a tongue and a trumpet of its own to speak when it pleases, and what it pleases. VOL. VII.-NO. I.-MONTHLY. 1
