1t is to be hoped that all OF our
churches will respond 10 the ur-
gent need and appeal OF our mis-
sionary on the field just now.
Brethren. it is sin TO place a
man on the field TO look alter the
neglected churches and iall TO see
after his support. while we are
at home faring sumptuousIy ev-
cry day with our families and
congregations. Ii is wore than
crime TO allow his family TO SUI
Ter, while we arc responsible TO
TO send the gospel into destitute
places. How can they hear
without a preacher. and how can
they preach except they are
sent?" Brethren, bestir your
selves as never before; the eyes
OF our old fathers who have lie,
their montles fall on us are ex-
pecting US TO evangelize this field
in they labored SO earnestly. con-
tending Tor missions and the mis-
sionary. Remember the great
commission. and let us take the
State for Christ. The harvest is
white, but the laborers are lew.
Lit up your eyes and look upon
the field. The true missionary
spirit is lax in most OF our Bap-
fist churches in Southern Illinois.
Let US put out mission cards.

In General Order No. 546, issued by
fhe San Francisco postoffice and
dated February "a. are some timely
postal rulings concerning window

thorities think should be known by
local printing firms supplying them to

of The sender--that Is. the name and
address Of the sender which shall
re placed in the upper left corner OF

sender should include the street and
number or number Of postoffice box.
The stationery used in window en-
velopes. or at least the portion upon
which the exposed address appears,
must be white. or If e0lored, Of q
tvery light tint or shade. The use OF
| dark -colored stationery IN window
IenyeIopes is not permissible. Nothing
| but the name and address of the ad-
dressee should appear In that part OF
the enclosed visible through the win
dow. The address should be written
clearly and boldly, preferable in type
writing, with ink OF a dense black or
other strongly contrasting color. Win
| dow envelopes not conforming to the
/ foregoing are not acceptable for mail.
ing" (Postoffice department ruling
Of July l. 1851
Leave aWindow' Space Clear
Concerning suggestions for the pro.
per use Of window envelopes the
same ruling says:
ANY printing of matter in close
proximity to the window In window
envelope diverts the attention of pos
ttai employees from the name and ad
dress OF the addressee appearing
Through the window. and therefore the
Ispace immediately around the window
lof q window envelope should be left
perfectly clear.
1T is understood that many con
Germs ordering envelopes are not &C
quainted with the requirements of the
Postal Laws and Regulations, but per
sons furnishing envelopes to others
should in fairness to their customers
fully acQuaint themselves with such
| requirements"

SON Is that the human system does
