How Shall We Raise Money :?

accomplished with less money than
the W. G. L. Z. has used, but the
avenues broaden and ways open, and
we know If we would continue we
must have more. Women labor and
save and sacrifice, and yet we must
procure more funds than they can
give us. One thing seems clear as
revelation, of the rich, those able to
give great amounts, but few are with
us, so it booves us to look most care
fully to the little sums, to the ways
of conserving these and of making a
grand aggregate. AS women, not
accustomed to large figures, the les
son of our lives has been that one
hundred cents make a dollar. Can
we not carry this farther and remem-
Der how much one hundred times a
dollar is, and again we only multiply
this by ten to make what has always
been to us big thing-one thousand
dollars-and yet the unit with which
we began is but a penny. | am
watchful of every scheme for raising
money. l look most jealousy at our
sisters of the missionary societies,
ready to seize upon any of their plans
and to adapt them to ourselves. The
fad of the endless chaips-I write a
letter asking dime, and my CORE
spondent in turn to three asking the
same and so on, ad infnitum-is La
BILE to too many abuses, and if car
ried out would soon absorb the money
of the world. A certain revenue on
which we can depend, we must have ;
the more largely the giving is distrib-
uted, the better both for the cause
and for the exchequer.
The envelope system is nothing
new to us; we learned it in church
and Sabbath-school, but there are APP
plications of it which make it irresist-
IDLY successful, which when carried
out faithfully make far less work, and
infinitely less disappointment, than
the tramping with subscription books,
and which possess the merit of certain
revenue with no loss of temper and
self-respect.
The w. c. I. U. has no better
friend than Geo. May Powell; his APP
plication of the envelope system is
pronounced by the best judges to be
preferable to others. He offers us
the outfit at greatly reduced prices,
and the explanation with the books
and envelopes makes it perfectly
lucid. Wherever churches have used
this system the income has greatly
increased. | recommend it as one Of
the best plans to our Unions, and
trust the directions may be closely
followed, and thus may our forces be
greatly increased because we are in
possession of the sinews of war,
Mr.. Powell offers the outfit, 2600 en-,
velopes properly printed, 100 sub.
scription cards, and a treasurer'S
book for so subscribers for So, and |
am sure if the plan, as laid down Gil
is not wise for us to remodel IT'D is
followed, it will produce an income Of
five hundred dollars to a W. G. 7. U.

terest of MANIFOLD and is wise in
vestment. These will be furnished

A GREAT deal has been written OF

SON and his southern policy. The
farmers Of the south are solving
that problem for themselves by
raising clover, grasses, grain and
stock. BY following this method of
farming and using improved ma

one hundred acres Of land with
two good horses or mules. But by
