Thanks. I had completely forgotten The Christian Guardian. I was following a chain of redlinks from Heliconian Club, came across this subject, pulled together what I could find online, then moved on. It is quite long, but I think it would need more to be a good article, particularly information on ownership, employees, pricing and circulation - the business aspects. Perhaps someone will take an interest and expand it, but the audience would be very limited. Aymatth2 (talk) 17:25, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
