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.
STATISTICS.
CHURCHES: _In the South_—In Va., 1; N. C., 5; S. C., 2; Ga., 11;

the care of the Association, 13,000.
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
accomodate 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.

who take up collections for the Association; to Superintendents of
Sabbath Schools; to College Libraries; to Theological Seminaries;
to Societies of Inquiry on Missions; and to every donor who does

Those who wish to remember the AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION in
their last Will and Testament, are earnestly requested to use the
following
FORM OF A BEQUEST.
“I BEQUEATH to my executor (or executors) the sum of —— dollars
in trust, to pay the same in —— days after my decease to the
person who, when the same is payable, shall act as Treasurer of the
“American Missionary Association,” 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
against their names, their places of residence [if in cities,
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.

THE REMINGTON GUN.—Judge H. A. Gildersleeve, of the American
Rifle Team, 1874, 1875 and 1876, thus writes under the date of
November 10:
“I have just returned from the Big South Bay, where I have been
gunning for ducks. I tried, for the first time, the Remington
10-gauge Gun I purchased from you last summer. My success with it
was excellent. In my judgment, its shooting capacity cannot be
surpassed. I want no better gun, and if I did, I don’t believe I
could find it, even among the expensive grades of English guns.
H. A. GILDERSLEEVE.”

LIQUID PAINTS.
Pure, Undiluted Paints, Full Body and Full U. S. Standard Measure.
No other paints for structural purposes equal ours in richness
and purity of color, covering capacity and durability. They are
especially adapted for exposed wood and iron, but are equally
desirable for inside and general work. Two coats of these paints
form a handsomer and more durable protective coating than three
coats of the best white lead and linseed oil, or any other paints
in use. We can therefore guarantee a _saving of from =20= to =40=
per cent. of the usual cost of painting_.
☞=The Contract for Supplying Paints for the Gilbert Elevated
Railroad of New York City was Awarded to Us.= _This is the largest
contract ever made for painting any single structure in this
country._ ☜
=_ROOF PAINT_= for tin and shingle roofs, iron work,
agricultural implements, fences, out-buildings, etc. _We guarantee

☞_This Paint was used with entire success, when all others failed,
upon the roof of the =Exhibition Buildings at Philadelphia=, the
largest area of Tin Roofing in the world._ ☜
=_FIRE-PROOF PAINT_= for the protection of inside wood-work
of factories, bridges, boiler rooms and other wooden structures in
danger of ignition from sparks, cinders or flames.
☞_This Paint has been applied to more than four and a half acres of
wood-work in the two immense Dry Goods Stores of_ =Messrs. A. T.
Stewart & Co.= of New York City.☜

“Weekly Witness.”
“We are great readers in our family, taking twelve of the leading
New York papers; but when the WITNESS comes, the others are
thrown aside until we have read the WITNESS. There is something
in it that I cannot understand—the more you read it, the more
attractive it becomes.
