XXXII. JULY, 1878. No. 7. * * * * * _American Missionary Association._ * * * * * We are happy to state that the “New Cartridges” are in frequent demand, and from sources which insure their best and most judicious use. By the way, that name, which was used quite casually, appears to have clung to them, so that they are called for under that title more than as the Pamphlets. One brother writes: “I am the only one in our religious society that fires the American Missionary gun at the mission meetings, and I want cartridges to suit.” Another says: “I will fire them at my people in the course of a month or two, and you shall have the game.” And a third: “I hope they will kick enough to have you feel the effect.” We refer any who may not understand these allusions to the list of new Pamphlets on the last page of the cover. We send them free to all who will use them and let us “have the game.” * * * * * The question is frequently asked, especially at our Boston office, “What is the price of the Questions and Songs prepared for Sunday-school concerts?” We answer: They are furnished gratuitously, and gladly, to any pastor or superintendent who will use them as designed. Only send in your requests for them for this purpose, and you shall receive them free. The interest and the gifts which they incite pay us a hundred fold. * * * * * At the Boston Anniversary, held May 23d, addresses were made by Rev. George R. Merrill, of Biddeford, Maine, and by President Buckham, of the University of Vermont. The remarks of the latter appear in full in the _Congregationalist_. * * * * * The season of the year has come again, when the schools are closing, and teachers returning North for the summer. The year’s work being ended, the laborers must be paid. Just at this time the receipts grow less, and the income is not so well adapted as at other times to the unusual outgo. If the churches which have taken their collections recently will forward them promptly, and if those who are purposing to send us money soon will send it a few days sooner, we may be saved considerable embarrassment. We do not want to have a single teacher’s or preacher’s claim unpaid the day it becomes due and is presented. * * * * *
