Is the total amount received to date on
the $50,000 debt fund. We are delighted
to know that the women are not only
net "resting on their oars," but propose
to try and raise the balance of $33,367.07
before March 31st. Should they succeed
(and they seeni to succeed in anything
in which they invest, their hearts), there
would be a balance of only $Gt>,210.0S
necessary to be received from other
sources to make the total receipts for
the year $100,000, OUR GOAL. Each
church treasurer can help by seeing to it
that March 31st shall find in his hands no
funds thai should be in the Foreign Missionary
Treasury?"DO IT NOW."

keep, especially the good news of the
Gospel.
The usual large number of renewals of
subscriptions to the Missionary at this
season of the year accounts for delayed
answers to questions regarding subscriptions.
A little patience with us on
the part of our friends will be appreciated.
The total amount received from April
1, 1908, to January 31, 1909, from Societies
are: Men's, $5,068.02; Children's,
$4,251.45; Ladies', $39,300.55. To the last
named amount may be added all funds
received through Miss Smith cn the $50,000
Debt Fund, whicu to January 31st is
$ 12,303.3ft, making a total from the
Ladies' Societies of $51,603.01. The
church should truly be prouu of ner women.
Lighten the work of your church, or
society treasurer, by getting a "Pass
Rook" to ue used in remitting Foreign
Mission Funds. A complete list of your
remittances *vould be valuable to your
treasurer in caeeking up the statement or
account with the Forward Movement. A
"Pass Rook" will furnish yon this list,
and more, and it costs nothing.

Africa to be sent to share-holders March

...b iu near ?unm oi ine ablegates tell
how their faith has been and is being
tried. The State and Romanists have
threatened sometimes to burn their villages
or kill them if they accept the
teaching and teachers of our Mission.
Many of then answer 'No matter, kill
me' " Such testimony is a mighty powej
for good in Africa and has telling effect
in the home-land. Pledgers for $50.00 a
year or more mav have the stutter

Interesting meetings in your Missionary
Society for eight and one-third
cents a month is what many societies
are now having. The "Executive Committee
of Foreign Missions" will explain*
how. on renuest.
In securing renewals to the Missionary
n cl'nping from our mailing list will be
found a great help. A lndv in Virginia
says.- "The list is a help to me in canvassing."

If you forget the names of the Secretary
or Treasurer, remember "Executive
Committee Foreign Missions." This will
save confusion and sometimes delay
caused by addressing individuals.
A letter from CuTdenas, Cuba, says
their new church will be completed in
about six weeks. It will seat 250 persons.
Expired subscriptions to The Missionary
are discontinued. However, for those
who wish to continue their subscriptions
and cannot nav now wo will
extend date of expiration and charge the
amount, payable later.
These days, when everybody, almost, is
interested in the evangelization o<" the
world in this generation four ceut3 n
month is indeed a SD/all amount to pay
for a magazine full of interesting Missionary
material. Yet the Missionary can
be had for fifty cents a year, which is
about four cents a month, by sending
subscriptions through your club agent. A
lady in Florida writes, '"I can't see bow
any one can read The Missionary and not
be thoroughly interested in the work."
A letter from Missouri says, T get both
pleasure and profit from your 'Mission
Study' in The Missionary."
To he contented and grateful is the
best way of giving God His due. Ho
cares more for fragrance of praiseful
lives than for the odor of costliest sacrifice.

How to Get Rid
of Catarrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way, and it
Costs Nothing to Try.
Those who suffer from catarrh know
Its miseries. There is no need of this
suffering. You can get rid of it by a
simple, safe, inexpensive, home treatment
discovered by Dr. Blosser, who, for over
thirty-four years, has been treating ca
tarrh successfully.
His treatment is uniike any other. It
Is not a spray, douche, salve, cream; or
inhaler, but is a more direct and thorough
treatment tnan any of them. It
cleans out the head, nose, throat and
lungs so that you can again breathe freely
and sleep without that stopped-up feeling
that all catarrh sufferers have. It
heals the diseased membranes and makes
a radical cure, so that you will not be
constantly blowing your nose and spitting,
and at the same time it does not
poison the system and ruin the stomach,
as internal medicines do.
If you want to test this treatment without
cost, send your address to Dr. J. W.
Blosser, 59 Walton Street, Atlanta, Ga.,
ami uc n 111 scim juu uy reiuru mail
enough of the medicine to satisfy you
that it is all he claims for it as a remedy
for catarrh, catarrhal headaches, catarrhal
deafness, asthma, bronchitis,
colds and all catarrhal complications. He
will also send you free an illustrated
booklet. Write him immediately.
