too, are so far remote that they are but little
sought after by us, and hence, the great benefits
of such papers are lost to children. Such

mined to supply it. We trust the Brethren and
friends in Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas, will
second our move and give US their hearty cooper

scriptions. We will make it to their interest to
work for as, by presenting to them handsome

the paper to every Church and Sabbath School.
