US for one suggestionI (which would giye,an
added interest 10 the magazine2 We refer
To the omission Of the name Of the writer
OF the leading articles on the subject for

weekly journal 10 omit the writer's name

the writer's name. But there are other

the instruction given, but rendered In.

work Of the church for the world.
The publication is unique and cheap at
its low club rate. 1thas now about 10000
subscribers. ..
Third-We cannot omit mention Of The
publications at our Office. OF the Leaflets"
Of which 81 900 have been published dur.
Ing the year just closing. These leaflets
are better than many ponderous volumes
OF so.called missionary literature.
