“I BEQUEATH to my executor (or executors) the sum of —— dollars in trust, to pay the same in —— days after my decease to the person who, when the same is payable, shall act as Treasurer of the ‘American Missionary Association’ of New York City, to be applied, under the direction of the Executive Committee of the Association, to its charitable uses and purposes.” The Will should be attested by three witnesses [in some States three are required—in other States only two], who should write against their names, their places of residence [if in cities, their street and number]. The following form of attestation will answer for every State in the Union: “Signed, sealed, published and declared by the said [A. B.] as his last Will and Testament, in presence of us, who, at the request of the said A. B., and in his presence, and in the presence of each other, have hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses.” In some States it is required that the Will should be made at least two months before the death of the testator. * * * * * PLEASE READ THIS AND THINK ABOUT IT. _The “American Missionary” is printed and circulated for the information of its constituency, and to keep alive their practical interest in the work of the Association._ _It costs money to prepare and send to its readers so large an edition as we find necessary._ THE SUBSCRIPTION PRICE IS ONLY FIFTY CENTS A YEAR. _A large number of its readers come within the classes who are entitled to it free._ _If others who desire to read it will send 50 cents to pay for their Magazine, beside their gifts for the missionary work, it will not only cease to be in any sense an expense to the treasury, but a source of revenue._ _Is the request below, then, too great a favor to ask?_ * * * * * PLEASE COPY THIS FORM AND MAIL IT. _January 1st, 1879._ _H. W. HUBBARD, Esq., Ass’t Treasurer, 56 Reade Street, New York._ _Enclosed, please find Fifty Cents, subscription for_ THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY, _for the year 1879_. _Send the same to the following address_: _Signed with your NAME_, _Your TOWN_, _Your COUNTY_, _And STATE (in full)_. * * * * * [Illustration: New-York Tribune.] _Postage Free in the United States._
