Exact Facts as Published by a Mt. Morris
Paper.
Some time ago, the little News, which
publishes scurrllous articles assaiiing
Plymouth business men, made an ef-
fort to belittle the Dunkard Printing
Institution which our enterprising bus
mess men have sought to secure for
our city. 1t pretended that it had made
an investigation and proceeded to
trown upon the efforts of the public
spirited people of the city.
We give below an article from the
Mt. Morris, Ill.,, Index, which gives the
truthful data of the printing establish
ment for which Plymouth business men
have raised a bonus
"The Brethren Publishing House is
an institution, of which Mt Morris
may be proud. Few of our citizens re-
alize the immense amount of business
done within the narrow walls of it's
present incapacious building. Here
with we give an account of its publica-
cations. "The Gospel Messenger" is a
slxteeh page religious weekly, devoted
to the spiritual betterment of the senior
members of the church. 1t has list of
about $4,000 regular subscribers, of
which most reside in the United States
and some in Eur ppe and Asia. This is
the most important of their publca-
tlOns.
The Pilot" spoken of in the above
reprint will be similar to the Gospel
Messenger in substance, being for the
benefit of the young people rather than
the older members. 1t has, of course,
no subs criptiOn list as yet but will soon
have large one
"The Young Disciple" is four page,
neatly printed and finely illustrated
weekly, published for the moral aud re-
ligious instruction of the young people.
1t reaches from IL, 900 to 1900 copies
per week, the number varying with the
seasons, since some Sunday Schools are
.; ly held during part of the year.
"The Children at Work" is a well il
lustrated four page Sunday School pa.
per, adapted to the understanding of
juveniles and is read by from 5000 to
1900 little tots each week
"Our Young People" is the college
paper and visits from 1000 to 1900 old
and new students of Mt. Morris College
every month.
."The Brethren's Advanced Quarter
ly" is calculated TO meet the demand of
advanced scholars of the Sunday school
and teachers who do not want to pur.
chase exhaustive commentaries on the
lesson. From 10000 to $4,000 of them
are sent out all over the United States
every quarter.
"The Brethren's Juvenile Quarterly"
is suited TO the intermediate and ad.
vanced primary classes of Sunday
schools. From 10000 to 10000 are
printed quarterly.
The Brcthrens Almanac consists of
10 pages and issued yearly. 1t hangs
by the llreside of $4,000 homes.
Besides the regular periodicals, there
are published Is different religious
tracts of which IL ,0S5 were sent out
during the month of September. Two
books have been published during the
past wear and two others are well under
way. They are "Mind Misteries. by
Ed. j. ). Flory; "Girdling the Globe"
by Ed. II. l.. Miller; "Joseph the Rul.
er," by Galen Il. Boyer; and a volume
entitled. classified Minutes" contain.
ing complete list OF the minutes of
Annual Conference.
The entire force connected with the
house varies in the vicinity of % per
surprisingly small number con.
sldering the amount of work done.
However this number will be increased
when the new paper starts.-Mt. Nor
