This is the best religious news

know of in the United States. If

be procured for less than one cent for

are no, aware of it. The family neacs.
paper should have attractive reading
and information forthe various members
of a household. Among many other
matters, religious and moral improve
ment should not be lost sight Of
Ali immoral, communicating influences
should be excluded from its reading
matter and its advertisements. This
idea is very important, when the press
is flooding the country with SO much
that is vile and pernicious. The family
newspaper should be free to give all
the good news from and about all the
world. If such family newspaper
can be had for one cent a day. it
should be taken by Every family in the
land. Such family newspaper, IN
every respect, we find in the Neao

fifty sixth volume. Send $3.15 for
