“We are doing better for you than ever before, though not half what we ought to. Hope you will get your $350,000 and $150,000 more added to it.” “The magazine is of interest, and is enjoyed always. It is doing a noble and appreciated work.” “We are glad to be able to send this year the largest collection the church has ever taken for the work of the Association. We shall hope even to improve on this next time.” “I will see that the matter of looking up subscribers for your magazine is placed in proper hands. I am much interested in your work.” “The magazine does good. We love the Association, and do not fail to give our little.” “I will do what I can to increase interest in our work, and, if possible, extend the circulation of your magazine.” “The information furnished by the magazine is used freely in our monthly meetings by those who receive it. We regard the A. M. A. as one of the most useful and sacred of the benevolent organizations to which we contribute.” “I do wish that more of our people would take your magazine. I shall recommend it to their notice.” “The last number of THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY is worth its weight in gold. I wish it could be found in every one of our families.” “We are thoroughly interested in your work, and will give you a better collection this year than we did last. I can say so much with confidence.” “That your magazine is a power in your behalf is evident from a glance at our record, as our little country church averages nearly $200 a year in support of your work. As long as I remain pastor of the church, it will not be my fault if this good record is not continued.” “The copies of THE MISSIONARY which come here are all used, and profitably so. Our parish is thoroughly interested in your work, and we have one of our best reporters to represent your field at our monthly concerts.” To those who will help in extending the circulation of THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY, we will, on order, send sample copies. The subscription price is 50 cents. Send orders to H. W. Hubbard, Treasurer, 56 Reade street, New York city. * * * * * We do not desire to have the money that rightfully belongs to other missionary boards find its way into our treasury; yet we do rejoice that there are many noble men and women in the different denominations who were among the constituents of the Association in its early days, and who have remained its constituents down to the present time. One of them attended our last annual meeting, and enclosing $30 to make a Life Membership, which makes the thirty-first Life Member that he has constituted, writes in regard to that meeting as follows:
