Be very careful to comply with the requirements of the law in making your will. A BETTER WAY The Society will receive your money now, giving a bond for the payment to you of an annuity during life if you so desire it, preachers. ཝཱ Have you renewed your subscription to cluding sermons from representative the MONTHLY? If not, this is a good time to do so. When you write tell us what you think of the MONTHLY, and suggest any way in which you think it may be improved. We are always glad of suggestions, and are not afraid of criticisms. In making your annual contribution for home missions do not forget the suggestion of the Committee that you add fifty per cent. to the usual amount, to enable the Society to undertake advance work. Do not fail to read the admirable address of Dr. Williams, which we publish in this number. We rejoice in the success that waits upon the effort of the Methodists to raise a twentieth century fund of $20,000,000. The Baptist Union of Great Britain and Ireland has sent a special request to the Home Mission and other American Baptist societies to appoint delegates to attend the next meeting of the Union, to be held in Edinburgh next October. We shall be very glad to receive the names of any American Baptists who expect to be in Edinburgh at that time. The Pan-American Exposition which is to be held at Buffalo during the summer and fall promises to be exceedingly interesting. We are very glad that under the leadership of the New York Evangelist arrangements are being perfected for the holding of daily religious services, in Dr. E. E. Chivers, after four years, faithful and efficient service as the secretary and executive head of the Baptist Young People's Union, has felt constrained to lay down the burdens of his office, and return to the pastorate. By his self-denying and valuable service, Dr. Chivers has made a deep impression upon the Young People's movement, and has endeared himself to multitudes of friends in all parts of the land. We regret very much that he could not have retained his office for many years, and we sincerely hope that his successor will be relieved of the crushing financial burden which has been so large a factor of discouragement and so great a hindrance to success. The Baptists of Great Britain and Ireland are attempting to raise from five hundred thousand Baptists a twentieth century fund of £250,000, or $1,250,000. In October, Rev. J. H. Shakespeare reported that £153,000 had been secured. As they have until April 21, 1902, in which to make payments, the movement will undoubtedly be successful. It is said that the effort has greatly stimulated the churches, awakened new interest in denominational life and work, and is being marked by a large increase of spirituality. It is proposed to distribute the fund as follows: £125,000 for the great forward movement in evangelization; £30,000 for the assistance of weaker churches in the maintenance of their pastors; £30,000 for the annuity fund for on its achievements and prosperity, and wish for them a long future and great usefulness in the important city where their lot is cast. When you make your will do not fail to remember the great cause of the evangelization of America. A conservative estimate places the population of the United States before the close of the present century, at not less than three hundred million. Think what that means! How important it is that they shall be Christians The Home Mission Society is girding itself anew for the performance of its portion of the mighty task of winning North America for Christ. It can be done. It ought to be done. It will be done if the Christians of the present generation do their duty. If you cannot give your money now, do not fail to make provision in your will for carrying on this important work. During the last twenty years the Society has received from legacies alone nearly two million dollars, an average of nearly one hundred thousand a year. One of these bequests was the magnificent sum of two hundred and forty thousand dollars. Do not be afraid of making your gift too large. Forin of a bequest to the Society."I give and bequeath to the American Baptist Home Mission Society, formed in New York in the year eighteen hundred and thirty-two, the sum of for the general purposes of said Society." See that your will is correctly drawn and properly witnessed. The First Baptist Church at Helena, Mont., organized by Rev. T. J.
