. MCXZIING THE OK

The attention Of our Baptist read
ers in particular and al our readers
in general is called to the appeal OF
Rev. Jordan for funds for mission
work in Africa, South America and
elsewhere. Rev Jordans cause is
worthy and we hCSprak FOR him the
active cooperation Of christian prn-
Pile Of whatever denomination and
wherever located.
In this connection. Tho Advocate

ton to what has nrcon,r almost an

they come so often We have begun
to wonder if Rev. Jordan secures the
paper, on which these requests are
written. in the same way. Does the
typewriter who writes them set her

question but that Uncle sam is paid
fof the stamps to bring these ap-
paals, and Rev. Jordan receives. or
