Notice to BaptiStS.

According to the report of
Corresponding Secretary of Mis-
sions, w. w. Scales, it costs
81. 444 to have sermon preached
by the missionaries and every
fourth sermon there is an aver
age of one addition to the church,
and every $1,000 expended for
missions there was an average
of one conversion. Great work.
If you can not go and preach,
you can save some one by send
ing your money.
Yours in the cause.
