“The end of the school year of the American Missionary Association is near at hand. Its Teachers and Missionaries must soon return North, and will need the balance of their small salaries to enable them to do so. This necessary demand makes a special drain upon our treasury, and we, therefore, earnestly appeal to our friends to enable us to meet it without debt. We hope that churches whose collections occur now will make them as large as possible and remit promptly; and we ask our friends, in whose heart is a warm love for the cause, to come to our relief with special contributions for this emergency. In behalf of the Executive Committee,
M. E. Strieby, Cor. Secretary.”
TO-MORROW’S WANT.
Looking ahead, we see that the coming claims upon us must be greater than those of the past. The signs of the times indicate that the Lord’s work is to be done upon a larger scale in the near future; the progress, made and making, in our schools, and the call for enlargement in our church work, will make increasing demands upon us, until the time shall come when they shall be more largely self-supporting than it is possible for them to be now. We have done much——we are doing more——we must expect to do a still greater work. Give us the means, and plan large things for us in the days to come.
ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT.
We invite special attention to this department, of which our low rates and large circulation make its pages specially valuable. Our readers are among the best in the country, having an established character for integrity and thrift that constitutes them valued customers in all departments of business.
To Advertisers using display type and cuts, who are accustomed to the “RULES” of the best Newspapers, requiring “DOUBLE RATES” for these “LUXURIES,” our wide pages, fine paper, and superior priming, with no extra charge for cuts, are advantages readily appreciated, and which add greatly to the appearance and effect of business announcements.
