READER, YOU ARE CHALLENGED
1 A sentence hath formed a character, and a character hath subdued a kingdom.”
In tliis day when your eyes are fairly blinded—when you are almost stifled by the poisoned atmosphere you breathe as the result
of daily and weekly “literature” that is devilish and deadly, why not determine to do your part to put pure literature in your home
and the homes of others?
The unvarying comment of our thoughtful readers is this—“THE GOLDEN AGE brings to the head, the heart and the home a
type of mental food which is wholly unique and always inspiring.” They say: “NOTHING ELSE LIKE IT!”
Dr. L. G. Bfoughton’s sermons will be renewed when he returns to England in October —and the fact that THE GOLDEN AGE
is the only paper in America publishing his sermons every week will be worth many times the price of the paper. Many other
unique features full of radiant sunshine, fire and vim, and GET-UP-AND-GET —everything that means the fearless fighting of evil and
the building of homes and CHRISTIAN CITIZENSHIP, will be found in THE GOLDEN AGE every week.
The price, formerly $2.00, has been made $1.50 a year for the purpose of reaching as many homes as possible. But if you will
send $1.50 before October 15 (THE EDITOR’S BIRTHDAY) we will “celebrate” by making you a “birthday present” of three months
extra; or, if you prefer, we will send you a brand new two-bladed knife, brass lined, stag horn handle, just suited to a Boy Scout;
or, a splendid pair of large adjustable-rivet shears, 50c value. Either of these premiums sent prepaid ABSOLUTELY FREE. This
applies to renewals.
TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS: We have not been sending you bills this summer because money was scarce, but now cotton is mov
ing, money is freer and we call for a prompt response from every loyal friend of THE GOLDEN AGE! Look at your label and save
us the expense of collection.
Come on! Every friend of the fight of the RIGHT AGAINST THE WRONG, and help us as the organ of the Civic League of
America to build in the South a great, fascinating, fearless, forceful weekly paper for the HOME and the CITIZEN with One Hundred
Thousand Circulation!
