THE THIRTY-THIRD VOLUME
OF THE
AMERICAN MISSIONARY,
1879.
We have been gratified with the constant tokens of the increasing
appreciation of the MISSIONARY during the year now 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 1879?
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.
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 new year.
Subscription, =Fifty Cents a year, in advance=. =One Hundred
copies, to one address=, for distribution in Churches or to clubs
of subscribers, for $30, with the added privilege of a Life
Membership to such person as shall be designated. The Magazine will
be sent gratuitously, if preferred, to the persons indicated on
page 27.
Donations and subscriptions should be sent to
H. W. HUBBARD, Ass’t Treas.,
56 Reade Street, New York.

ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT.
We invite special attention to this department, of which our low
rates and large circulation make its pages specially valuable. Our
readers are among the best in the country, having an established
character for integrity and thrift that constitutes them valued
customers in all departments of business.
To Advertisers using display type and cuts, who are accustomed
to the “RULES” of the best Newspapers, requiring “DOUBLE RATES”
for these “LUXURIES,” our wide pages, fine paper, and superior
printing, with =no extra charge for cuts=, are advantages readily
appreciated, and which add greatly to the appearance and effect of
business announcements.
Gratified with the substantial success of this department, we
solicit orders from all who have unexceptionable wares to advertise.
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.

Transcriber’s Notes:
Ditto marks in tables were replaced with the text they represent in
order to facilitate alignment.
The page number in the Table of Contents entry for RETURN OF REV.
FLOYD SNELSON was corrected.
Punctuation and spelling were changed only where the error appears
to be a printing error. Inconsistent hyphenation was retained
as there are numerous authors. The punctuation changes are too
numerous to list; the others are as follows:
“Protestanism” changed to “Protestantism” on page 9. (Protestantism
in the South)
