“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. * * * * * CHEAP AND EFFICIENT AID FOR COLORED PREACHERS. (_From Weekly Witness, June 19th, 1879._) We ask the attention of our patriotic and philanthropic Christian readers to the letters from colored preachers which we publish to-day. These letters show the great acceptability and usefulness of the _Witness_ to colored preachers, and we hope they will induce many to send them a gift so highly appreciated. For every dollar sent to the colored ministers’ fund, we will send the _Weekly Witness_ to a colored preacher for one year. The first year of this effort we obtained the addresses of upwards of 2,000 preachers, to whom we sent the _Witness_. The whole number of preachers is said to be about 5,000. The second year we only sent it to preachers who asked for it, and only about 800 did so. Several have since written regretting that the paper was stopped. It would have been continued had they signified their desire to receive it. We think it likely that with the present excitement concerning emigration, many more could be reached, besides renewing these 800 as their time expires. Will our friends keep this fund supplied, that we may again advertise for the addresses of colored preachers wishing to receive the _Witness_? The best and perhaps only way of reaching the colored people of the South with instructive and elevating reading matter is through their religious teachers; and, as will be seen from the letters, they make a good use of the _Witness_ in that way. * * * * * _To the Editor of the Witness._ CULLODEN, GA.
