THE JUBILEE YEAR FUND.
In the last number of The American Missionary we published the plea of the Executive Committee of this Association for an offering to relieve the Association in its financial necessities. We present below the working point of that document in these words:
It is proposed to raise during the next six months a special Jubilee Year Fund of $100,000, in shares of $50 each, with the hope and expectation that these shares will be taken by the friends of missions without lessening those regular contributions which must be depended upon to sustain the current work.
As the means of securing these gifts we subjoin the blank form of a pledge, which, when signed by individuals or officers of churches, may be sent to H. W. Hubbard, Treasurer, Bible House, New York. When the amount pledged is paid our treasurer will send as a receipt a neatly printed certificate. On another page will be found a list of pledges already made.
We solicit especial attention to the closing paragraph of the sentence quoted above, asking that these special gifts shall not lessen the regular contributions, upon which the Association must depend to sustain the current work.
