sary to give schedule of principles or
boast OF our independence. The printer
is paid. The guide will be published
monthly FOR every parish in the State
and be issued in each place at the same
tina. Il will have the advantage Of
being strictly local, and at the same time
sufficiently general. The first and last
pages will bs devoted to local mat.or en-
tirely; and be- prepared by the Rector
who is one Of the editors. The inside
will be prepared so as to be as suitable
for ell the parishes as though it were
prepared for each. and for example: The
copy you ars reading now contains vo1r
Rector's compilation on the first and last
pages. These pages are different in the |
numbers prepared for all the other
parishes in the State, while the inside |
pages are the ssme everywhere. It may !
here be remarked that the publication !
has the entire approval OF tie Bishop |
who, togethe. with sil the clergy of the |
State heartily assist IN its preparation. !
The Guide il distributed grstuitously, |
and all We ask is that it be read care
fully. Our only hope is tina: people !!
will want more of them for other people |
to reed. We have facilities for iucress-
ing our circulation. and will be glad to
increase il, If it meets With q favorable !
reception. We trust that the people in
the several parishes will find it well
come visitor and will assist their Rector
in making each plumber more readable
than its predecessor. We don't ask
much. Perhaps upon second thought
We don't give much; but Of this We will
leave the reader to judge. With this
little DOW We cDNmeuce our career as
one OF the helpers in the Church-work
il Nevada.
This il FIRST rate; and il gives the
Guide most excellent secd oh-pre-
pairing it for a welcome reception in the
various parishes for which il! intended.
