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.

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.

FORM OF A BEQUEST.
“I BEQUEATH to my executor (or executors) the sum of ---- dollars

person who, when the same is payable, shall act as Treasurer of the
‘American Missionary Association’ of New York City, to be applied,
under the direction of the Executive Committee of the Association,
to its charitable uses and purposes.”
The Will should be attested by three witnesses [in some States
three are required--in other States only two], who should write

their street and number]. 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.

DUDLEY’S PATENT
DIAGONAL
ROAD SCRAPER
THE BEST. THE CHEAPEST.
Weighs but 50 lbs., has Steel Cutter Plate, can be worked square or
at any desired angle, and is rapidly superseding all other Scrapers
where it is known.
[Illustration]
Read the following:
One says: “It will do more work than two of the common kind.”
Another: “It is worth more than all the old kind that can be made.”
“I would not take 25 dollars for mine, if I could not get another.”
“With a yoke of oxen and boy to drive, I can scrape and finish up
in five hours as much road as I can with any scraper known to me in
ten hours, beside doing it better and easier both for myself and
team.”--J. DAVIS, Hartford.
“For working roads it will soon supersede the old scoop. I consider
it one of the best simple inventions of the age.”--G. P. BELDEN,
Dover Plains.
“Leaves a road in better shape, and is easier for man and team,
than any scraper I ever saw.”--J. S. KINNEY, Washington.
