JANUARY, 1888. →EDITORIAL←← We are confident that the typographical and other changes in the "make-up" of the MONTHLY for 1888 will be regarded with favor by our readers, particularly by those whose vision is not as keen as formerly, and to whom many pages in small-faced type have been objectionable. The use of larger type will scarcely lessen the quantity of reading matter, inasmuch as additional pages are gained for this purpose by throwing the published contributions into three columns instead of two, as heretofore, on each page. Four pages will now contain the receipts that formerly occupied six pages. The thanks of the Society are due to the warm-hearted friends through whose influence the circulation of the MONTHLY has been increased the past year. The banner church of the country in the list of subscribers for the MONTHLY is the Union Avenue Church, of Pittsburgh, Pa. It takes seventy copies. Connected with this fold is a Porter who is specially interested in seeing that the flock is well supplied with proper missionary nourishment, so essential to the highest development of Christian character. We cannot say positively that by his own generosity or by some other method he supplements the subscriptions of the few who cannot No. I. afford to pay fifty cents a year for the MONTHLY, but we have a strong suspicion of this sort. Now let an able and benevolent brother in many other churches take a hint from this, and inform the people that those who would like the MONTHLY for twenty-five cents per annum may obtain it, and he will gladly supply the difference. For a club of ten, at $4.50, this proposition would impose an expense to the giver of only $2.00; and for a club of twenty, at $8.00, it would impose an expense of only $3.50. Will not the friends of our work try this plan in many of our churches? We hope for a large increase in our subscription list. It is constantly growing, but there are thousands more who should take the MONTHLY, and thus know what is being done, and what needs to be done, for the evangelization of this continent. The following are the rates for the MONTHLY for 1888, postage prepaid: Single copies, fifty cents; ten copies, $4.50, or fortyfive cents per copy; twenty copies, $8.00, or forty cents per copy; fifty copies, $18.00, or thirty-six cents per copy. These are club rates, and are to be sent, as a rule, to one address, though to some individuals of a club, if specially desired, the magazine will |
