nothing We could do in he future
would placate or win them back as
paying subscribers.-Baptist Courier.
We are in very much the same COR
dition as the Baptist Courier except
that ours is not denominational pub
lication and we have no claims Of that
kind to urge for the payment Of what
is due.
We present this editorial for the
purpose of showing that We are not
the only one who has trouble. 1t is
our fault that we have so l,uch owing
to US and it is a little bit strange
that people become offended if you
ask them to pay for the paper and
vet it is the fault Of the publishers.
We worried long time about what
was the best policy. We have reach
ed the conclusion that it is best for
the publisher and the subscriber
to have the cash rule and now that
the government has forced the pub
Usher to it there can be no alterna-
tive. We hate to lose what we have
already earned and we shall regret
to part with any of our subscribers
but after the first Of February we
do not intend to keep any subscrlp-
ton books except the mailing gal
leys.
Those who have been INDUCED will
no doubt get angry. Some one said
to use the other day that gratitude
was manifested in the expectation Of
what was expected to be made out OF
YOU in the future and no account was
taken Of past favors. That may be
but we still hope that there is left
some gratitude for past favors.

THE UNPAID SUBSCRIPTIONS.

The Baptist Standard, Of Texas,
makes an ''Important Announce
ment.'' It reads in part as follows:
''This is to notify all subscribers
who are over year behind that their
accounts will be sold December 18th,
1908. We regret this is necessary,
but repeated statements have been
sent to all. It would be far better
for the subscribers to settle with us
now than to have to deal wlth the
purchaser of your account. Every
fairminded man will agree that it 5
right to pay a religious paper as we'll
as any other Obligation
Well, Texas is large State, and
the editor, perhaps, does not expect
to travel very extensively, and it may
be that he will not meet many Of
those whose "accounts' he sells. But
If he should meet many Of them he
will be kept busy explaining why he
did it. Will the delinquent subscrib-
ers whose accounts are sold become Of
Tended? Some Of them will, but then
it may be added, sometimes it occurs
that a very nild statement will Of
tend some people. Occasionlly they
get offended and pay up Immediately.
What are the newspaper men to dos
IF the paper is discontinued promptly
the day the subscription expires, it
will offend some good people; if it is
continued and the subscription runs
behind, some people do not like it; if
the paper is discontinued with a bal
ance due, it is seldom collected; if the
accounts are turned over to collector
that is mortal ofense in most cases.
So it is a problem with the newspaper
publishers, for they are not able to
lose large amount annually on peo-
pie who will not pay their subscrip-
tions and who cannot be reached by
any amount Of persuasion. Every
newspaper has to face every year a
large number Of unpaid subscriptions.
It is especially embarrassing when
we remember that these people are
members of Baptist churches, Of
course in ''good standing and full Of
Fellowship and yet they will not
pay what they owe their denomina-
tional paper. Some Of the pastors
would be greatly surprised if we
should give them the names Of mem
bers Of their churches who now owe
for the Baptist Courier, and who have
ignored all the kind and respectful
business notices we have sent. And
yet, to place these accounts in the
hands of collectors would bring upon
US the i'll will Of these people and

4 Tribute of Love.

Likened unto the beautiful white
rosebuds, who unfold their snowy
petals, permeate the air with their
fragrance, and are shattered by the
ruthless winds, fall silently to the
earth, just so was the sweet little life
of Alta Marie Willis. Born April LIST.
1907, and standing on the TIRES
hold of her second year, she was
daily entwining the little tendrils of
her love more and more around the
hearts of parents, relatives and
friends, when the tiny thread of her
life was snapped asunder and dar-
ling, precious Alta joined the angel
band. Six long weeks she struggl I'd
with the Grim Reaper. Her vitality
was so great, our hopes were raised
often and often, but when we saw
her strength failing, we realized she
was succumbing to the grave sum
mons, and our hearts We're nigh
unto breaking, Why should we
grieve is not our pure little lily
transplanted in heaven? Yes, dear
young parents, you whose hearts
are broken in twain, take consola-
ton in the thought that our dear
Lord himself hath said, Suffer the
little children to come unto me, for
of such is the kingdom of heaven.
II shall not remember you darling
little Alta, as | last saw you in thy
tiny casket with thy dimpled hand
clasping a spray of tube roses. The
picture | have engraven upon my
heart, never to be effaced, is one as
saw you so often last summer. The
picture of health, your little sun-hat
tied under your chin. and you play
ing in the sand on the sea-shore. 1t
is thus. | shall always remember my
prescious blue-eyed pet.
