We are sorry to see the editor of the Scottish

Church, in a note to the May number, which closes the fourth volume, saying that the measure of the support granted to the magazine by the Church " has hitherto been very stinted." This magazine ought to receive more generous encouragement, for, while striving to be both instructive and entertaining in a general way, it fights courageously and ably for the Church of Scotland. We learn from a statistical paper on "Christian Liberality of Scottish Churches," that the congregational incomes of these Churches from all sources stand thus —Established, £648,000, or 23s. per member; Free, 2358,000, or 21s. 9d. per member; United Presbyterian, £187,000, or 20s. 6d. per member.
