BATH STREET, GLASGOW. The Bath Street Baptist Church, Glasgow, on Wednesday, 1st November, at their Church Meeting, presented the Rev. T. Henry Holyoak, late of Bristol College, with a handsome and valuable marble timepiece, on his leaving Glasgow, where he had been labouring for six months. The present was for a memorial of the high esteem in which he was held, and it was fervently hoped and prayed for that the milder and drier climate of England would fully restore and invigorate his health, and that his future would be prosperous and happy.

Editorial Postscript.

THE EDITOR OF THE CHURCH-for more than twenty years-has pleasure in closing, with this number, the volume for 1865. He acknowledges with thankfulness the help he has received from contributors too numerous to name, and the kind cordiality with which his and their efforts have been received by the Baptist denomination. The improvements in appearance and in character which were made at the beginning of the year have been received everywhere with satisfaction and approval.

During the coming year a large number of friends have promised assistance in the way of contributions. Amongst them are Messrs. C. M. BIRRELL, of Liverpool; H. S. BROWN, of Liverpool; J. T. BROWN, of Northampton; C. BAILHACHE, of Islington; J. P. CHOWN, of Bradford; C. ELVEN, of Bury St. Edmunds; Dr. EVANS, of Scarborough; S. G. GREEN, B.A., of Rawdon College; N. HAYCROFT, M.A., of Bristol; J. H. HINTON, M.A., of London; W. LANDELS, of Regent's Park; A. MACLAREN, B.A., of Manchester; A. MURSELL, of Manchester; C. STOVEL, of London; Dr. STEANE, of Camberwell; J. STOCK, of Devonport; W. UNDERWOOD, of Chillwell College; C. VINCE, of Birmingham; W. WALTERS, of Newcastle-on-Tyne; E. WHITE, of Camden Town; C. WILLIAMS, of Southampton. With the assistance of these and other contributors, it is hoped that, during the coming year, the interest of the magazine will be both maintained and increased.

The Editor earnestly requests the co-operation of his readers, so that the circulation of THE CHURCH may be enlarged in proportion to the enlargement of the denomination, and-if he may say so-in proportion to his efforts to make the magazine worthy of increased sympathy and support.

As some of our friends found it difficult to procure the TITLE AND INDEX when they were published separately, we have this year, as last, made it a part of the magazine, adding in consequence One Halfpenny to the price of this month's number. This plan will be continued. This addition of One Halfpenny to the price of the December Number will be the only addition made to the price of THE CHURCH during the year.
