AIM AND WORK.

To preach the Gospel to the poor. It originated in a sympathy with the almost friendless slaves. Since Emancipation it has devoted its main efforts to preparing the FREEDMEN for their duties as citizens and Christians in America and as missionaries in Africa. As closely related to this, it seeks to benefit the caste-persecuted CHINESE in America, and to co-operate with the Government in its humane and Christian policy towards the INDIANS. It has also a mission in AFRICA.

STATISTICS.

CHURCHES: _In the South_—In Va. 1; N. C., 5; S. C., 2; Ga., 12; Ky., 7; Tenn., 4; Ala., 13; La., 12; Miss., 1; Kansas, 2; Texas, 5. _Africa_, 1. _Among the Indians_, 1. Total 66.

C.; Charleston, Greenwood, S. C.; Macon, Atlanta, Ga.; Montgomery, Mobile, Athens, Selma, Ala.; Memphis, Tenn., 11. _Other Schools_, 18. Total 37.

INDIANS under the care of the Association, 13,000.

WANTS.

1. A steady INCREASE of regular income to keep pace with the growing work in the South. This increase can only be reached by _regular_ and _larger_ contributions from the churches—the feeble as well as the strong.

2. ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS for our higher educational institutions, to accommodate the increasing numbers of students; MEETING HOUSES, for the new churches we are organizing; MORE MINISTERS, cultured and pious, for these churches.

3. HELP FOR YOUNG MEN, to be educated as ministers here and missionaries to Africa—a pressing want.

Before sending boxes, always correspond with the nearest A. M. A. office, as below.

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.

ROAD SCRAPER

IS THE BEST.

Weighs but 50 lbs., has Steel Cutter Plate, can be worked square or at any desired angle, and is rapidly superseding all others where it is known.

A Few of Many Testimonials of its Value:

“Works in rough or smooth ground. No one who has used it will be without it.”—M. Bartholomew & Sons, Goshen, Ct.

“Select-men of the Town of Litchfield, Ct., say: It is the best Scraper ever invented, and cheerfully recommend it to all interested in Roads, as calculated materially to lessen the expense of making and repairing the same.”

“Is twice as good as you represent it. With same labor will do two or three times as much as any scraper I ever saw. Answers our fullest expectations.”—H. TUCKER, of Rockville.

“Leaves a road in better shape, and is easier for man and team than any scraper I ever saw.”—J. S. KINNEY, Washington.

HOW TO OBTAIN THE MISSIONARY.

Enclose Fifty Cents for your subscription (or One Dollar for two years, or for yourself and some friend), to H. W. Hubbard, Esq., Assistant Treasurer, 56 Reade Street, New York.

If a Life Member or Pastor or S. S. Superintendent of a contributing church, or an annual contributor of $5 or more to the A. M. A., order it sent to you on that ground.

Keep us informed of your changes of address, etc.

HOW TO READ THE MISSIONARY.

In these busy days few people read anything all through; but you can do better than to open at random, read a page and lay aside. 1. Read the Editorial paragraphs for the latest aspects of our work. 2. Read the titles of longer Editorials and Contributions to see if they contain anything you want. 3. Read through at least the one which attracts you most. 4. The General Notes furnish a summary of facts, opinions, legislation, discussion, and progress concerning the three races of our care, such as you will not find elsewhere. 5. Glance over headings of Letters from the Field, and you will be sure to find something you will want to know more about.

HOW TO CIRCULATE THE MISSIONARY.

Mark something which interests you in it, and lend it to your neighbor.

Read or refer to a fact gleaned from it in your Prayer Meeting or Monthly Concert.

Secure subscriptions for it in your church or community. We will send you a list of present subscribers in your town to work from, if you request it.

HOW TO PRESERVE THE MISSIONARY.

It is often useful for reference. The December number contains minutes of the Annual Meeting. The February number has our list of workers. Friends from contributing Churches come to the office for information, which, nine times out of ten, is pointed out to them in a recent MISSIONARY.

To preserve and bind them, punch two holes near the back and three inches from top and bottom, through which put a string and tie behind; open and add as the monthly numbers come to you. This makes a simple, cheap, flexible and effective binding, and is not patented.

ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT.

We invite special attention to this department, of which our low rates and large circulation make its pages specially valuable. Our readers are among the best in the country, having an established character for integrity and thrift that constitutes them valued customers in all departments of business.

To Advertisers using display type and cuts, who are accustomed to the “RULES” of the best Newspapers, requiring “DOUBLE RATES” for these “LUXURIES,” our wide pages, fine paper, and superior printing, with =no extra charge for cuts=, are advantages readily appreciated, and which add greatly to the appearance and effect of business announcements.

Gratified with the substantial success of this department, we solicit orders from all who have unexceptionable wares to advertise.

Advertisements must be received by the TENTH of the month, in order to secure insertion in the following number. All communications in relation to advertising should be addressed to

J. H. DENISON, Adv’g Agent,
56 Reade Street, New York.

* * * * *

☞ Our friends who are interested in the Advertising Department of the “American Missionary” can aid us in this respect by mentioning, when ordering goods, that they saw them advertised in our Magazine.
