Part 7

Is a topic on which we print several articles this year from Rev. WASHINGTON GLADDEN, and other well-known writers.

“WITHOUT A HOME”

Is the name of a story by Rev. E. P. ROE, running through the columns of THE CONGREGATIONALIST nine or ten months this season. More than 200,000 copies of Mr. Roe’s books have been sold, a fact which indicates the great demand there is for them.

Our Sabbath-school Department for 1881 is under the charge of the Rev. A. F. SCHAUFFLER, of New York, who is known as one of the most suggestive writers and thinkers on this subject in the country.

Our Children’s Department is sustained by such writers as Mr. C. C. COFFIN, ERNEST INGERSOLL (on Natural History), W. J. ROLFE, CLARA ERSKINE CLEMENT, and others equally eminent, and it will be found entertaining and instructive to all, both to young and old.

A series of twelve articles or more, running through our columns this year, entitled

“GREAT SUBJECTS,”

And from the pens of some of the most eminent thinkers in the land, is destined to attract wide attention. Among the writers are Ex-President WOOLSEY, Gen. J. R. HAWLEY, Hon. DORMAN B. EATON, BENJAMIN VAUGHAN ABBOTT, Dr. GEO. M. BEARD and Rev. NOAH PORTER, D. D. The large space of four columns a week, on an average, is devoted to our “Literary Department.” It is gotten up wholly in the interest of our readers, and we receive frequent testimonies to its value.

With seven persons on our regular editorial staff, including Rev. A. H. CLAPP, D. D., in New York, who, besides other matter, furnishes a letter every week, the reader will find THE CONGREGATIONALIST in all its departments fully abreast of the times. It touches subjects of current interest to the religious public every week, not only by its editorial articles, but by a great amount of paragraphs and short matter such as all are glad to read. We offer no premiums, but are now expending upon the columns of the paper itself what otherwise might be required for that purpose. The amount of money paid out sometimes in a single week to writers for THE CONGREGATIONALIST now exceeds the sum expended in this way for six months or a year a quarter of a century ago.

Specimen numbers sent free. Price, $3.00 a year.

THE THIRTY-FIFTH VOLUME

OF THE

American Missionary.

1881.

* * * * *

Shall we not have a largely increased Subscription List for 1881?

We regard the _Missionary_ as the best means of communication with our friends, and to them the best source of information regarding our work.

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 editorial supervision at this office, 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 January 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 127.

Donations and subscriptions should be sent to

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

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

THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT, 56 Reade Street, New York.
