Part 12

This small, neat eight-page weekly paper is filled with the choicest reading matter suitable for the Sabbath day, among which is one first-class sermon in each number. The matter in this paper is all different from what appears in the WEEKLY WITNESS. It has no news or advertisements, editorials or communications, but is just a choice selection of good, religious, temperance matter, suited for all classes and all regions, and specially suited for distribution as a most acceptable tract. Price one cent per copy, or 50 cents per annum. Ten copies (520) to one address for a year, postpaid, for $4; or 100 copies for $35. This is found to be an excellent weekly for the more advanced classes in Sabbath-schools.

All the above terms are cash in advance, and the papers stop when subscription expires unless previously renewed. Sample copies of any or all of them will be sent free if applied for by postal card or otherwise.

The above publications will be sent on approbation for a month to any address for: DAILY WITNESS, 25 cents; WEEKLY WITNESS, 10 cents; SABBATH READING, 5 cents, or sample copies free.

THE WORLD FOR 1880.

The year 1880 promises to be one of the most interesting and important years of this crowded and eventful century. It will witness a Presidential election which may result in re-establishing the Government of this country on the principles of its constitutional founders, or in permanently changing the relations of the States to the Federal power. No intelligent man can regard such an election with indifference. THE WORLD, as the only daily English newspaper published in the city of New York which upholds the doctrines of constitutional Democracy, will steadily represent the Conservative contention in this great canvass. It will do this in no spirit of servile partisanship, but temperately and firmly. It will be as swift to rebuke what it regards as infidelity to Democratic principles or to the honorable laws of political conflict on the part of its friends as on the part of its foes. It will uphold no candidate for office whom it believes to be unworthy of the support of honest men, and accept no platform which it believes to misrepresent or to contradict the true conditions of our national prosperity and greatness. As a newspaper THE WORLD, being the organ of no man, no clique and no interest, will present the fullest and the fairest picture it can make of each day’s passing history in the city, the State, the country and the world. Its correspondents in the chief centres of life and action on both sides of the ocean have been selected for their character not less than for their capacity. It will aim, hereafter as heretofore, at accuracy first of all things in all that it publishes. No man, however humble, shall ever be permitted truly to complain that he has been unjustly dealt with in the columns of THE WORLD. No interest, however powerful, shall ever be permitted truly to boast that it can silence the true criticism of THE WORLD.

During the past year THE WORLD has seen its daily circulation trebled and its weekly circulation pushed beyond that of any other weekly newspaper in the country. This great increase has been won, as THE WORLD believes, by truthfulness, enterprise, ceaseless activity in collecting news, and unfaltering loyalty to itself and to its readers in dealing with the questions of the day. It is our hope, and it will be our endeavor, that these may keep what these have won, and that THE WORLD’S record for 1880 may be written in the approbation and support of many thousands more of new readers in all parts of this Indissoluble Union of Indestructible States.

=Democrats= everywhere should inform themselves carefully alike of the action of their party throughout the country and of the movements of their Republican opponents. A failure to do this in 1876 contributed greatly to the loss by the Democracy of the fruits of the victory fairly won at the polls.

THE THIRTY-FOURTH VOLUME

OF THE

American Missionary,

1880.

We have been gratified with the constant tokens of the increasing appreciation of the MISSIONARY during the year now nearly past, and purpose to spare no effort to make its pages of still greater value to those interested in the work which it records.

Shall we not have a largely increased subscription list for 1880?

A little effort on the part of our friends, when making their own remittances, to induce their neighbors to unite in forming Clubs, will easily double our list, and thus widen the influence of our Magazine, and aid in the enlargement of our work.

Under the editorial supervision of Rev. GEO. M. BOYNTON, aided by the steady contributions of our intelligent missionaries and teachers in all parts of the field, and with occasional communications from careful observers and thinkers elsewhere, the AMERICAN MISSIONARY furnishes a vivid and reliable picture of the work going forward among the Indians, the Chinamen on the Pacific Coast, and the Freedmen as citizens in the South and as missionaries in Africa.

It will be the vehicle of important views on all matters affecting the races among which it labors, and will give a monthly summary of current events relating to their welfare and progress.

Patriots and Christians interested in the education and Christianizing of these despised races are asked to read it, and assist in its circulation. Begin with the next number and the new year. The price is only Fifty Cents per annum.

The Magazine will be sent gratuitously, if preferred, to the persons indicated on page 412.

Donations and subscriptions should be sent to

H. W. HUBBARD, Treasurer, 56 Reade Street, New York.

TO ADVERTISERS.

Special attention is invited to the advertising department of the AMERICAN MISSIONARY. Among its regular readers are thousands of Ministers of the Gospel, Presidents, Professors and Teachers in Colleges, Theological Seminaries and Schools; it is, therefore, a specially valuable medium for advertising Books, Periodicals, Newspapers, Maps, Charts, Institutions of Learning, Church Furniture, Bells, Household Goods, &c.

Advertisers are requested to note the moderate price charged for space in its columns, considering the extent and character of its circulation.

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.
