AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY.
Work Reported at the Annual Meeting
In Washington.


The annual meeting of the American
Tract Society was held in the Church
OF the Covenant at Washington. March
goth. Justice Brewer presided and
made a brief address setting forth the
general work Of the Tract Society.
both In the home and foreign field. He
emphasized the necessity OF this work
as well as showing that there was no
other agency so well equipped to fur
nish Christian literature in the many
language and dialects.
Rev. Judson Swift reported the
years work. and William II. Taft. sec
retary OF war, delivered an address
which gave an account OF the progress
In the Philippines. relating particular
ly to education and Christianity.
The secretary OF the society said
that elghty-nine new publications had
been added to the list during the year.
These were in English. Polish. Bohe-
mian, German. Hungarian. Spanish.
Swedish and Italian. and the total
number of distinct periodicals added
was 1870. making the grand total OF
publications issued since the organiza-
tlon OF the society, including volumes,
tracts and periodicals, 749 ,315,57
The tract society furnishes all or
the Spanish language and during the
year has distributed in the American
colonies upward OF 100000 pages and
the total for the year in the Spanish
speaking countries is $4,000 pages.
Six colporteurs are laboring in Cuba.
The work among the Mormons in
Utah is of intense interest. The dis
tribution of Christian literature by
colporteur wagons and colporteurs
reaches thousands of homes. placing
Wholesale reading in the hands of the
youth.
The society has expended total of
three-fourths of a million dollars in
creating and circulating Christian YER
nacular literature at the foreign mis-
sion stations. The great need OF the
foreign field at the present Is a large
increase OF Christian literature. Many
OF the missionaries state that the edu-
cation of the youth at the mission
schools will be largely In vain unless
sufficient amount of Christian and
wholesome literature is provided for
them upon their graduation. This is
particularly true of India and Japan.

TRADING STAMPS.

CFort Wayne Morning JOurnal-Gazette,
Sunday, April 10, 1904.)
In discussing the trading stamp propo-
sition a merchant of Sioux City said:
Now, if a mercahnt buys $40 worth of
trading stamps-God forbid that he ever
Should've trading stamp company sends
50 per cent of that amount or Sc. to their
home office at once, because that per-
centage of stamps is never redeemeds
DO they pay the consumer the other 81 in
cash? They dos not. They give him a
chair for it worth S1.00 Now. If friend
should pay SO for a present for you and
YOU only got something worth 81, and
some CRATER kept the other 80. you would
think there was something wrong.
This. in a nutshell, is the modus oper-
andi of the trading stamp game. Is it
necessary for the retailers and consumers
of this country TO allow these grafters to
come between them and their transactions
and rake off 4 per cent. or do they prefer
to place themselves in the position of the
man who lost heavily in a game of poker.
and when his little daughter asked him
where he was all night, said that he was
taking care of sick friend. She asked
him if he bathed his friends head. When
he said no, she asked him if he held
his friends hand.
q No. he replied, but wish had.
THE trading stamp scheme is like q lot
terry. Both are founded on the alluring
idea Of getting something for nothing.
