Christian Reflector, Christian Watchman, Christian Watchman & Reflector, and New England Christian Reflector should link here
Christian Watchman and Reflector was a Baptist publication in New England (Boston). It was involved in the debate over slavery before the American Civil War.
In a letter[1] to it[2] Charles Spurgeon wrote about the need for Christians to combat slavery.[3][4]
It was established from a merger of the Christian Watchman (1819 - ?), the first Baptist weekly in the United States, and Christian Reflector.[5]
History[edit]
The Watchman was established in 1819 as the Christian Watchman. It was edited by Deacon James Loring. The Christian Reflector was established in Worcester, Massachusetts and edited by Rev. Cyrus P. Grosvenor. It was critical of slavery. It relocated to Boston in 1844. Rev. H. A. Graves was its editor. Rev. J. W. Olmstead took over as its editor in March 1846. In 1848 the two papers were merged under the name The Watchman and Reflector. Olmstead continued on as editor.[6]
