Editorial Notices.

In consequence of the heavy demand upon the Editor's time by an unexpectedly large influx of inquiries and communications, most of them needing a written reply, he has been compelled to hold over his promised examination of the Bishop of Melbourne's lecture on Science and the Bible for No. 3. This arrangement, as it happens, secures a greater variety of matter in No. 2.

The Editor is unwilling to go to Press with his second number without congratulating the friends of Free Religious Inquiry, as he would modestly congratulate himself, on the large and influential circulation which, from the actual sale of copies as well as from the promises of support he has received from every direction, the A. F. R. P. seems destined to secure. Under these circumstances he feels himself justified in enlarging his Journal from 24 to 32 pages, feeling assured that the zeal of his friends will more than meet the additional outlay.

The Editor wishes the Readers of the Australian Free Religious Press to know that its pages are at their service for the discussion of questions relating to Free Religious Inquiry. Communications (which must be authenticated by the name and address of the Writer, not necessarily for publication,) to be sent to the Editor's residence, 245 Macquarie Street.

Orders for copies of the Australian Free Religious Press, and Advertisements, to be sent to the Publisher, Mr. John Ferguson, 126 George Street, Sydney.

Yearly Subscription : Six shillings in advance, with an extra shilling for postage. Orders on the Post Office may be made payable either to the Editor or to the Publisher.
