Part 7

For beauty of gloss, for saving of toil, For freeness from dust and slowness to soil, And also for cheapness ’tis yet unsurpassed, And thousands of merchants are selling it fast.

Of all imitations ’tis well to beware; The half risen sun every package should bear; For this is the “trade mark” the MORSE BROS. use, And none are permitted the mark to abuse.

SUNDAY MAGAZINE.

T. DE WITT TALMAGE, Editor.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

With 1883 the SUNDAY MAGAZINE entered on a new series, with the distinctive purpose of providing such a variety of reading matter of the highest literary merit (entertaining, chaste and instructive) as shall commend it to Christian parents and those engaged in the instruction of the young. Its purpose is to provide the healthiest, yet most sparkling literature, for young and old. DR. TALMAGE is the real editor, and intends to put his best work into it. Writers of the greatest acknowledged excellence contribute to its pages, and THE ILLUSTRATIONS are of a higher grade than any that have hitherto appeared in the Magazine.

Among other unique attractions are the following twelve questions answered by the leaders of each denomination:

WHAT IS METHODISM? WHAT IS MORAVIANISM? WHAT IS LUTHERANISM? WHAT IS EPISCOPALIANISM? WHAT IS PRESBYTERIANISM? WHAT IS SWEDENBORGIANISM? WHAT IS CONGREGATIONALISM? WHAT IS ROMAN CATHOLICISM? WHAT IS THE BAPTIST CHURCH? WHAT IS THE CHURCH OF THE DISCIPLES? WHAT IS THE DUTCH REFORMED CHURCH? WHAT IS THE REFORMED EPISCOPAL CHURCH?

Rev. Moses D. Hoge, D.D., Richmond, Va.; Rev. Charles H. Hall, D.D., Brooklyn, N.Y.; Rev. Chauncey Giles, D.D., Philadelphia, Pa.; Rev. Isaac Errett, D.D., Cincinnati, O.; Rev. Daniel Curry, D.D., N.Y.; Rev. Edwin F. Hatfield, D.D., N.Y.; Rev. F. C. Ewer, D.D., N.Y.; Bishop Charles E. Cheney, Chicago, Ill., and others will answer the above questions.

SUNDAY MAGAZINE is $3 per Year, Postage Free; 4 Copies, $9; 6 Copies, $12.

Liberal terms to agents. Specimen Copy to any address for 10 cents. Remit by Money Order or Registered Letter to

THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY.

* * * * *

No Christian family can afford to be without missionary intelligence, and no missionary society can afford to be without readers of its publications; it had better give them to the readers without pay than to have no readers. Missionary zeal will die in the churches without missionary intelligence.

But it would be far better for both the societies and the readers if missionary news were paid for. This would give the magazine attentive perusal and the society relief from the reproach of a large expense for publication. Missionary publications should be put on a _paying basis_. Aside from a free list to life members, ministers, etc., the cost of publication should be made up by paying subscribers and advertisements.

We are anxious to put the AMERICAN MISSIONARY on this basis. We intend to make it worth its price, and we ask our patrons to aid us:

1. More of our readers can take pains to send us either the moderate subscription price (50 cents), or $1.00, naming a friend to whom we may send a second copy.

2. A special friend in each church can secure subscribers at club-rates (12 copies for $5 or 25 copies for $10).

3. Business men can benefit themselves by advertising in a periodical that has a circulation of over 20,000 copies monthly and that goes to many of the best men and families in the land. Will not our friends aid us to make this plan a success?

Subscriptions should be sent to H. W. HUBBARD, Treasurer, 56 Reade st., New York, N.Y.

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 toward the INDIANS.

STATISTICS FOR 1882.

CHURCHES: _In the South_—In District of Columbia, 1; Virginia, 1; North Carolina, 9; South Carolina, 2; Georgia, 14; Kentucky, 7; Tennessee, 4; Alabama, 14; Kansas, 2; Arkansas, 1; Louisiana, 17; Mississippi, 5; Texas, 6. _Africa_, 3. _Among the Indians_, 2. Total, 88.

INSTITUTIONS FOUNDED, FOSTERED OR SUSTAINED IN THE SOUTH.—_Chartered_: Hampton, Va.; Berea, Ky.; Talladega, Ala.; Atlanta, Ga.; Nashville, Tenn.; Tougaloo, Miss.; New Orleans, La., and Austin, Tex.—8. _Graded or Normal Schools_: Wilmington, N.C.; Charleston, Greenwood, S.C.; Savannah, Macon, Atlanta, Ga.; Montgomery, Mobile, Athens, Selma, Ala.; Memphis, Tenn.—11. _Other Schools_, 38. Total, 57.

TEACHERS, MISSIONARIES AND ASSISTANTS.—Among the Freedmen, 336: among the Chinese, 31; among the Indians, 6; in Africa, 16. Total, 389. STUDENTS.—In theology, 72; law, 28; in college course, 104; in other studies, 9,404. Total, 9,608. Scholars taught by former pupils of our schools, estimated at 150,000. Indians under the care of the Association, 13,000.

WANTS.

1. A steady INCREASE of regular income to keep pace with the growing work. 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 number 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.

Transcriber’s Notes

Obvious printer’s punctuation errors and omissions silently corrected. Inconsistent hyphenation retained due to the multiplicity of authors. Arithmetic errors in the receipts have been retained as printed.

Images have been moved outside of paragraphs, resulting in page numbers that are slightly off.

Changed “carrried” to “carried” on page 86. (our work begun and carried)

Missing “a” inserted in “and” on the back cover (humane and Christian policy)
