TESTIMONIALS.
We subjoin extracts from letters published in our columns.
"Other papers, published out of the limits of the State, are useful; but they cannot be expected to take the place, and to fulfill all the objects of a paper published among ourselves."- Professors Bowdoin College.
"[ sometimes almost wish I were compelled to rely upon your weekly summary instead of reading so many exciting details in the daily papers. You tell us all that we really need to know ; and a great many things that we ought to do."-Dr. Chickering.
" It contains a weekly summary of events written in a lively style-criticisms, literary, and moral, of great practical value -- and such matters of general and denominational interest as serve to keep its readers well 'posted up.'"-Dr. Carruthers. " I think the Mirror has never been more ably and faithful- ly conducted than during the last few years. The present editor devotes time, and thought, and labor to it, and succeeds in making it ( what he has shown himself abundantly able to do' An interesting weekly visitant to our families and homes." -- I.r. P., Ban. Sem.
" Nowhere is the influence of a good religious newspaper Twittrartant than it is in Maine. In no State is it more in print that the Congregational churches should have an oran of their own. Nor do I see how any reasonable man (a, a+% for a letter organ than the Mirror. * * Rarely dol phe e A mumsber upon file without a distinct feeling of re- gar: in regard to more or less of what it contains, that I can- to have it in a volume on my shelves where it will be con- Hastly a: hand." -- Prof. D. T. Smith, Ban. Sem.

It is a ju- dicion an & rammet supporter of the doctrines and polity of cur churches, of their missionary enterprises and their spirit- nal intere .: s. f: religions articles for family reading are choice.
