give the gospel to every church in the

of weak churches. Let us hold up their
hands. There are new villages and
towns along the line 01 oar new roads.
There are worthy Presbyterians in the
new population. There should be a Sunday
school in every saw-mill community.

our August collections. We are depending
on the offerings of August to sup
port our work through the next five
months. Hence, "we earnestly request
