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.

TO ADVERTISERS.

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.

to secure insertion in the following number. All communications in

relation to advertising should be addressed to

THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT,

☛ 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.
