Those who wish to remember the AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION in their
last Will and Testament, are earnestly requested to use the following
FORM OF A BEQUEST.
“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.

THE CONGREGATIONALIST FOR 1881.
The publishers of THE CONGREGATIONALIST have never been better prepared
to make an entertaining and instructive paper for the family than now.
Our contributors embrace such names as
Prof. AUSTIN PHELPS, D. D., ROSE TERRY COOKE,
Rev. J. T. DURYEA, D. D., SUSAN COOLIDGE,
President S. C. BARTLETT, MARION HARLAND,
Rev. L. W. BACON, D. D., Rev. THEO. L. CUYLER, D. D.,

GEO. E. WARING, Jr., Rev. GEO. LEON WALKER, D. D.,
Mr. C. C. COFFIN, RAY PALMER,
JULIA C. R. DORR,
And many others who have attained a national reputation.
“HOW AND WHAT TO READ”
Is a topic on which we print several articles this year from Rev.
WASHINGTON GLADDEN, and other well-known writers.
“WITHOUT A HOME”
Is the name of a story by Rev. E. P. ROE, running through the columns
of THE CONGREGATIONALIST nine or ten months this season. More than
200,000 copies of Mr. Roe’s books have been sold, a fact which
indicates the great demand there is for them.
Our Sabbath-school Department for 1881 is under the charge of the
Rev. A. F. SCHAUFFLER, of New York, who is known as one of the most
suggestive writers and thinkers on this subject in the country.
Our Children’s Department is sustained by such writers as Mr. C. C.
COFFIN, ERNEST INGERSOLL (on Natural History), W. J. ROLFE, CLARA
ERSKINE CLEMENT, and others equally eminent, and it will be found
entertaining and instructive to all, both to young and old.
A series of twelve articles or more, running through our columns this
year, entitled
Public-domain text, read in full here on John Shaqi.
