THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY. We are anxious to put the AMERICAN MISSIONARY on a paying basis. We intend to make it worth its price, and we ask our patrons to aid us: 1. More of our readers can take pains to send us either the moderate subscription price (50 cents), or $1.00, naming a friend to whom we may send a second copy. 2. A special friend in each church can secure subscribers at club-rates (12 copies for $5 or 25 copies for $10). 3. Business men can benefit themselves by advertising in a periodical that has a circulation of 20,000 copies monthly and that goes to many of the best men and families in the land. Will not our friends aid us to make this plan a success? We nevertheless renew the offer hitherto made, that the MISSIONARY will be sent gratuitously, if desired, to the Missionaries of the Association; to Life Members; to all Clergymen who take up collections for the Association; to Superintendents of Sabbath-schools; to College Libraries; to Theological Seminaries; to Societies of Inquiry on Missions; and to every donor who does not prefer to take it as a subscriber, and contributes in a year not less than five dollars. Subscriptions and advertisements should be sent to H. W. HUBBARD, Treasurer, 56 Reade street, New York, N.Y. * * * * * ATKIN & PROUT, PRINTERS, 12 BARCLAY ST., N.Y.
