Christian Herald

The Christian Herald was an American weekly newspaper reporting on topics relevant to Evangelical Christianity.

It was founded in 1878 in New York City by Joseph Spurgeon, a cousin of Charles H. Spurgeon, who wished to create an American version of the British newspaper of the same name. Along with the newspaper, Spurgeon also ran a charity under the same auspices devoted to poor relief and evangelizing. Thomas De Witt Talmage served as editor from 1890 to 1902. In 1898, the Herald was purchased by Louis Klopsch, who further expanded the charitable operations and spread the publication to overseas locations. He also purchased a summer camp in the New York suburbs for Christian youth activities.

In 1927, Reverend Daniel A. Poling became the editor, a post he held until 1966. In 1948, the Herald started the "Family Bookshelf," a book subscription group of Christian-friendly literature. The summer camp was relocated to the Poconos in 1961 as suburban development encroached on the original location. Declining circulation forced the Herald to relocate from Manhattan to Chappaqua, New York, in 1971. By 1992, the newspaper ceased publication, but the charitable outreach arm still exists, having relocated back to Manhattan in 1998.
