The value OF the Duplex envelope sys-
tenn as a means Of enabling a parish to
meet its appointments for missionary
purposes has Just received remarkable
Endorsement at the Church Of the Ascen-
sion. In that church the rector, Rev.
Canon Nelms, d. D.. reports that though
the foreign and domestic missionary ap-
portionment was S,320.S. which was
twice as large as II was the year before,
yet the apportionment was promptly
made without a single appeal for mis-
sions during the year and without a spe-
cial Offering taken. Furthermore, that
while four years ago only forty persons
in the parish contributed to missions in
the year just passed IS persons con-
tributed. all OF whom save two con-
tributed through the Duplex envelope
system.
