Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t report

ABSOLUTELY PURE
For the Inbkx.
News From Brazil.
It is a long time now since 1 last
wrote you. But you must excuse my
delay, for I have been very busy. This
has been a trying year, here in the
Campos vicinity, as well as all over
Brazil. Here in this city—the most
Important of the State —we have pass
ed through many difficulties. First
the river Parahyba inundated the city
and neighborhood, spoiling thousands
of dollars of sugar cane. Then came
fever, caused by the stagnant waters,
and then smallpox, which helped to
paralyze the commerce of this dis
trict. You can imagine how our hands
were full, when with our usual pas
toral, evangelistic and missionary
work we had to attend to the sick
and needy. We had to open a kind
of evangelical hospital for our be
lievers. Our brethren worked hard
and did nobly. We received help from
all over Brazil and from all denomina
tions. Only two of our church mem
bers died of smallpox. The boro was
with us and had pity on our small
number. Praise his name.
All over Brazil things are not
pleasant. The republic is not yet
sure. Her worst enemies are her
friends. They want a republic with
republicans. The Brazilians are not
republicans. Brought up amidst su
perstition and fanaticism, prohibited
to think for themselves about liberty,
fraternity and equality, how can they
put in practice things they never
dreamed of. Finances are bad. Ex
change is low, making the milrels
only a third of its legal value. This
makes life in Brazil difficult. Every
thing is excessively dear and tiie poor
as well as the middle classes suffer.
Had it not been for the bananas and
oranges that grow wild all over the
land, many would have suffered from
hunger. Yes, Brazil is passing
through a great crisis and needs the
earnest prayers of all those who love
her.
But, praise the Lord, our work in
Brazil has not suffered much. Taken
in all, generally we have bad a
blessed year all over the field. There
reigns a spirit of encouragement, of
zeal and fervor among all our mis
sionaries, and this, you know, is a
good sign. They are all happy in
their work and the Lord has blessed
them abundantly. Let me give you a
rapid sketch of our work in Brazil:
PERNAMBUCO.
Here our brother Entuminger and
his noble wife are at work, and doing
well. A few years ago there were only
a few members in the whole State;
to-day you will find three strong
churches. Bro. E. writes saying that
this year nearly fifty have been add
ed already to the churches. He is
suffering much persecution from the
Jesuits, but he fears nothing, and is
pushing the work forward. God
bless him and his work, ought to be
our constant prayer.
MACEIO
is the name of the capital of the State
of AlagoAs, where we have a church
with about seventy-five members, but
unhappily no one to take charge of
this important field. Brother Aden,
who worked here, went home and
never returned. Here is a State with
an important work begun, but no one
to take it up no one to help it on.
We have many places in Brazil in
similar conditions. Open doors, press
ing invitations, but lack of laborers.
Truly, Brazil needs your prayer.
BAHIA
is the first mission station opened in
Brazil, and the work there is well es
tablished. Besides the strong church
in the capital of the State, we have
four strong interior churches —all
thriving well. Add to this work the
care of our printing establishment, the
colporter work and the school, and
you can imagine how much Bro. Z. C.
Taylor has to do to keep up with all
the work before him. The work ac
complished this year must be impor
tant, for constantly arrive tidings of
new candidates coming forward for
baptism, and yet 1 believe much more
could have been accomplished if he
had more helpers. Oh, the lack of la
borers in this field of a great future.
It is the greatest obstacle to our hopes*
and plans. How many open doors!
How many urgent invitations! How
many Macedonian cries! All have to
be passed over, though our hearts
bleed. Brethren, pray the Lord to
stir up the hearts of the people, to pity
Brazil, to pray for its peace and suc
cess.
RIO DE JANEIRO MISSION
was begun two years after the Bahia
mission; its age, therefore, is about
fourteen years. From a little group
of three or four members it has grown
into a church of power and impor
tance. To-day it counts over 100
members, having many descendants
in other parts of the State. For a
long time the church was struggling
against many difficulties, especially
against a good accommodation for
worship, but to-day they rejoice in
the possession of one of the best
houses of worship in the city. For
this they are grateful to the breth
ren of the States who so liberally help
ed them. Since the inauguration of
the new church they have been hav
ing blessed times, many converts and
many additions to the church. The
work is growing wonderfully, praised
be the Lord.
Juiz de Fora, in the State of Minas,
belongs to this mission and is under
the care of Rev. J. J. Taylor, of Ar
kansas, who is doing a good work. He
has opened a book store and is
spreading abroad the truth as it is in
Jesus our Lord, blessed Lord.
THE CAMPOS MISSION
is under my care and is composed of
four churches—one in Campos with
about 140 members and the other
three near Campos with another 150
members, all three together. Be
sides these churches we have a daily
school and the Baptist journal, “As
Boas Novas” (The Good News). For
reasons stated above, our progress this
year has been slow. The fever and
the smallpox hindered our worK
greatly. It ruined the commerce and
many of our brethren were obliged to
go to other places to find a livelihood.
Still, we kept the fort and did our
best. We cared for the sick and
needy. The members attacked by the
dread disease —the smallpox—were
cared for in a private isolated hospital
and most of them saved—except two
young ladies. Our school
was closed for a month —but row con-
tinues prosperously. Our journal con
tinues to speak the "Good News” In
love. Many important leaflets were
published and spread abroad. A new
Baptist hymn book was published and
thousands of pages of the Word of
God were sold or given away. We
have had some baptisms in all the
churches, and in all of them we have
many inquiries after the truth as it
is in Jesus.
Our greatest drawback Is the lack
of a proper house of worship. Our
present location is in a storeroom
without windows, without comfort,
totally unfit for such holy work. But
what can we do? We cannot obtain
any other. We have a splendid plat
in the heart of the city, but no means
to build a house of worship. Our
brethren are poor and the last epidem
ics have ruined the commerce, yet the
believers do their utmost. Every
month they contribute about S3O to
pay their current expenses. They
have bought their own plat of ground,
their own organ, tneir own chairs —
they only want you to help them build
their chapel and then they will be of
no expense to you any longer. Only
five thousand dollars! Brethren, help
and pray for us.
I cannot finish without speaking
about my native helper, pastor A. F.
Campos. He Is in charge of the work
In Sun Fidelis, and mighty work he
is doing here. He is one of the best
writers in the beautiful language
spoken here and the government peo
ple have asked him to take charge of
their local paper, published twice a
week, and he is using this privilege
for the good of the cause, in every
number he is publishing evangelical
articles and the result is many are
learning the truth of God. Fray for
him and his work
The hot season is setting in rapidly
now. Soon the tropical heat will be
upon us this is the time of fevers
and sickness. We need your prayers.
Remember us, your representatives in
Brazil, in your daily supplications.
Itemember our wives and our little
ones.
God bless you all abundantly.
Your missionary for Brazil,
SOLOMON L. GINSBURG.

Arkansas Notes
BY A. G. M’MANAWAY, D.D.
Last week was a notable one for
Arkansas Baptists. First came the
Decennial celebration of Ouachita col
lege, Thursday, November 12th.
From all parts of the State, and
from several other States, visitors
thronged into Arkadelphia, to show
their interest in the college, and to
enjoy the festive occasion.
President Conyers’ historical sketch
brought out some interesting facts.
Buildings and equipments are valued
at $75,000. The ten years have been
fruitful in good work. The average
yearly enrollment has been 285 pupils.
One hundred and six graduates, all
professors of religion, have been sent
out. The enrollment this session will
exceed 300. There are seventeen
teachers in the faculty. But the great
event of the celebration was the ad
dress by President B. S. Whitman,
of Columbian University, Washing
ton city, on " The College as a Moral
Force.” He pointed out the real dan
gers of college life, but showed that
these were less than would be found
anywhere else. Then he arrayed in
tolling order and with thrilling effect
the advantages of the college. It was
an address worthy of the man and of
the occasion.
Then, on the next day. the State
Convention met in its forty-eighth
session at Hot Springs. Dr. Jarrell,
your correspondent, is pastor there,
and he had made superb arrange
ments for the entertainment of the
body. The brethren were so charm
ed With the place that they voted
unanimously to second any invitation
Hot Springs might decide to extend
to the Southern Baptist Convention.
So, if this matter should be heard
from at Washington next May, re
member that all the Baptists of Ar
kansas are behind the movement.
The attendance was the largest in
the history of the Convention. The
State Board came up without debt,
ami the collections for State objects
were large and given with enthusi
asm. The visitors were in evidence
more than usual, and were helpful
and interesting. Dr. Foru, of St.
Louis, preached a great sermon Sun
day morning on the symbolism of
baptism. Dr. Harvey, of the West
ern Recorder, engineered two splendid
collections, and Dr. Cranflll, of the
Texas Standard, surpassed himself in
raising money' for ministerial educa
tion. Dr. Early, of Texas, ably rep
resented the Home Board. Dr. Hay
den. of the Texas Herald, discussed
with interest various reports. Dr.
Falk came, not to represent his pa
per. l>ut to speak and speak well for
the Nashville Sunday School Board.
Dr. Dargan made an eloquent plea for
sympathy and prayer for the Semi
nary. Rev. A. J. Barton reported
from Richmond, but he was on his na
tive heath, and his effort in behalf of
Foreign Missions made the brethren
proud of him. You can judge from
these statements how much our vis
itors did to make the session a suc
cess.
There were anticipations of grave
trouble over the Whitsitt controversy.
The secular papers had been publish
ing sensational surmises as to the se
vere condemnation that would be at
tempted by some and the combina
tions for defense by others until every
body had come to dread the issue. But
when the resolutions were finally of
fered it was found that nobody de
sired extreme action on any side.
From the mild resolutions of censure
offered, a judicious committee evolved
a paper containing the substance of
all of them, and that paper was adopt
ed unanimously without discussion.
If attack had been made on Dr. Whit
sitt as a gentleman or Christian, or
if an attempt had been made to pass
upon the merits of the historical ques
tions involved, it is likely' a long dis
cussion would have followed. but
there were none who desired to de
fend him from the charge of having,
by his teaching and method, alienated
sympathy and support from the Sem
r inary. nor were there any' who de
sired to vote against a respectful ap-

peal to the Trustees "to remove the
existing difficulties or secure the res'g
natlon or removal of Dr. Whitsitt.
The mistakes to which he has con
fessed are pardonable to a brother, as
a Christian and a Baptist, but not de
fensible in the head of our Seminary.
It is proper to say in this connection
that the excitement in Arkansas over
the whole matter has been greatly in
tensified by the wildly quoted remark
as to the effects of the u.scovery in
Arkansas, Texas and the mountain re
gion of Kentucky. That remark, as
quoted, was understood to be a re
flection on the sections named, and
has been bitterly resented.
Our next Convention will be at Pine
Bluff. Our church there has just
captured the brilliant Missourian,
Rev, C. F. J. Tate, as successor to pas
tor W. K. Penrod, now of Kentucky.
The Second church at Tdttle Rock has
secured another brilliant Missourian,
Rev. J. S. Kirtley, as successor to Rev.
J. D. Jordan, the B. Y. P. U. man.
The Index is to be congratulated on
its arrangements for a fair discussion
of the Whitsitt discovery, as it Is also
for its improvement along all lines.
Now that its field editor has learned
to launch out beyond the borders of
Georgia, may we not expect to greet
him at our next State Convention?
So may it be!

From Indian Territory.
BY REV. W. J. PINKERTON.
I am In receipt of the following let
ter from a missionary of the General
Association of Western Arkansas and
Indian Territory, which speaks for it
self. It may interest your readers:
"Tushkahomma, I. T.,
November 10, 1896.
"Elder W. J. Pinkerton. —Dear Bro.:
I received your kind letter on October
30th. This is the first opportunity I
have had to answer it. My condition
financially is very poor. I am desti
tute of corn, or money to buy with.
I have nothing only as I work for it.
My field of labor is from Tushkahom
ma to Stanley on the ’Frisco railroad;
thence to Arkansas line. It is a large
field of labor. The prospects are very
good for a large ingathering of souls,
had 1 the means to live on. But for
want of means I am deprived of going
to my Indian church in Nashoba
county. The people here are very
poor, not able to help much. How I
want to go! but cannot. lam preach
ing every Saturday and Sunday near
my home. Pray for your brother in
Christ,
“J. P. FAITH.”
Since my letter of September
25th, I have made several missionary
trips, and attended our Short Moun
tain Association. I was elected clerk of
the Association; hence I am prepared
to give the readers of the Index a
brief account of the work done by our
missionaries, who are living and la
boring in the Indian Terri.ory con
stituent to the Short Mountain Asso
ciation. There were nineteen
churches represented. The following
is the statistical report: Baptisms,
228; received by letter, 94; restored,
20; dismissed by letter, 98; deaths,
15; number of male members, 426;
number female members, 624; total
membership, 1,050. Number ordained
preachers, 14; licenciates, 8; dea
cons, 48.
The Baltimore “ On-Looker.”
The Index is keeping me very busy
these days, Messrs. Editors. Besides
the weekly combat with the valiant ed
itorb, 1 am assailed also by corre
spondents, and all these matters press
very heavily upon me. 1 have a vehe
ment desire to reply to “On-Looker,”
who poses as an ambushed anonym
in Baltimore; but I am too poor to
afford it. I cannot waste ammuni
tion on a hidden foe. Even if 1 should
vanquish him, I might not desire to
carry off my prey. Besides,, I shall be
better able to honor and respect him
if 1 can see and know him. 1 cannot
fight an anonym. "On-Looker” should
be unwilling to write an article he
is afraid to sign. So, drag him out
into the arena.

At the invitation of Shiloh Baptist
church, ten miles northwest of Tah
leguah, the messengers of six churches
met November 14th for the purpose
of organizing a new association. Sev
eral other churches were not ready,
but will join at next meeting. W. E.
Davis was elected moderator, and B.
F. Stamps clerk. The writer was
elected to the Southern Baptist Con
vention. L. W. Wright, Superintend
ent of Missions, was present, and did
some good preaching. So did N. O.
Sowers, of Webb City, Mo. This as
sociation is in the midst of a great
destitution. "The harvest is great
and the laborers are few” —very lew.
Our work here is promising. The
field is inviting. Only a short time
will elapse till this country will be
allotted. Then there will bo perma
nency in our work. Now is the time
for our people to work. Will not
every reader of this letter consider
his responsibility to give the pure Gos
pel to this people?

GERMAN WORK IN MISSOURI.
Rev. William Kroesch, our German
missionary at Calfironia, Mo., writes
from Bay, Mo.:
“I am here at present helping Bro.
Umbach in a protracted meeting which
the Lord crowned with his richest
blessing. Five souls are converted,
and seven are deeply concerned about
their soul’s salvation.
"In our own mission field at Cali
fornia, Mo., the outlook is hopeful.
Our regular meetings and Sunday
schools are well attended.
“I am glad that our young people
take a personal interest in the month
ly missionary meetings, and so are ed
ucated in the cause of missions.”

Baptist church at Jacksonville, says:
i “On the last Sunday In October,
i Bro. Parsons preached a strong Her
’ mon on foreign missions, after which
a collection was taken, $l3O being the
amount received—the largest foreign
mission offering in the history of the
church. It is to be remembered that
this is the third collection for this
purpose in six months, bringing the
amount for the year up to S2OO, a fact
that speaks much for the spiritual zeal
and practical activity of the church."
Surely this will be regarded as a
creditable show.ng for our brethren
at Jacksonville—three collections and
S2OO for foreign missions during six
months. Especially so In the light of
the fact that they have recently been
struggling to complete their house of
worship. During the lust two years,
at the urgent appeal of these breth
ren, the Home Mission Board has ap
propriated $2,000 to aid in the comple
tion of their church. It is a gratify
ing reflection, therefore, that the
Home Board has (been a factor in ren
dering these foreign mission collec
tions possible.
During the period of the time al
luded to, the Home Board has not re
ceived any contribution from this
church. Funds are needed, never
more than now, with which to pay the
meager salaries of faithful missiona
ries throughout the entire home field.
At this time of the Board’s greatest
need, the suggestion is kindly offered
that it would be a graceful thing for
such churches as have been helped In
the past by the Home Board to make
special efforts to aid it with prompt
and liberal contributions.
HOME MISSIONS—MRS. W. M. JOR
DAN IN THE MESSENGER.
“Our hearts are filled with thankful
ness when we remember how God
has taken us as his chosen instru
ments and so enabled us to move for
ward into providential openings and
to seize the golden opportunities; that
we have not spent our strength for
naught, but are a part of a great or
ganization that is to-day a powerful
agency in the salvation of our beloved
land.” » • ♦
“We would reflect on no other benev
olent enterprise; we would say noth
ing to dishearten any one who, with
good motives, seeks good ends, but
our convictions, our faith is that the
surest hope of mankind is in America.
We have pouring into our shores
daily, yes, I should say, hourly, rep
resentatives of all the races of man
kind. If our eyes are to be gladdened
by the sight of heathen lands rapidly
becoming Christian, we must direct
our efforts and strain every nerve to
protect from heathenism our own land.
If by reason of our neglect of home
work, the stream of un-Ohrlstian ten
dencies from abroad and the flood of
indifference and vice of our own
country shall overwhelm the institu
tions of our fathers, the missions of
every Christian church, both home
and foreign, will suffer alike by the
common calamity.
WORK OF FRONTIER MISSIONA-
RIES.
The following extracts from letters
written by the missionaries of the
Home Board indicates a measure of
divine blessing on their labors that
will rejoice the hearts of all who have
a share in the work:
The Board needs money with which
to pay these faithful preachers, our
substitutes.

ceived 115 members having baptized
most of them —nearly 100 converts.
G. W. Evans, Peoria, Ark.—God has
blessed my labors this year. I have
baptized seventy-nine since our last
Association, which was in October.
Mrs. L. Mclntosh, Sea Side, Fla. —

'l'he water is clearer and they can see
better. But we expect to go to Key
West in December to hold a sailor’s
meeting. We are trying to rally our
forces for the association, so as to have
a good meeting. There seems to be a
growing interest in the work.
W. D. Smith, Ravis, I. T.—“As cold
waters to a thirsty soul, so is good
news from a far country."—Prov.
25:25. We have had some good re

1 have baptized three young ladies
since I saw you last. I was at the
General Association of Western Ar
kansas and Indian Territory. It was
the grandest meeting that body ever
held; God so wonderfully blessed his
children. I wish I had room to tell
you about it. I also went to our Dis
trict Association. There were thir
teen converts during the four days'
service of that body, so you can see
the Lord is blessing his people in this
poor Indian country. Our churches
had larger increase this year than us
ual.
C. L. Alexander, Bokoshe, I. T. —I

J. F. McLeod, Potter, Ark. —I am
happy to inform you that I have just
closed a meeting of great interest here
near the railroad. I baptized fifteen
at the last meeting and there are other
converts we look for soon. I baptized
three of my grandchildren. Most all
of the converts are young people.
S. G. Lucas, Wister, I. T. —I have

I am gone from home nearly all of

a meeting where there hasn’t been
any preaching. I organized a church
with four members and when I closed
the meetLg the church numbered
twenty-three—lndians and . whites
mixed. I baptized an elderly sister
seventy-one years old, one of fifty
nine years and a man of sixty-two
years. The Lord has been wonder
fully blessing my labors in this In

owing to the sparse population. This
is a dry climate. We have about nine

we have splendid irrigating systems.
Our people are In the front of every
calling. Pray for me and my work.
CO OPERATIVE WORK:
Work under the co-operative plan is
now being conducted in four States.
The results of this work thus far are
eminently satisfactory.
The following extract from a letter
written by Rev. P. F. Maloy, district
missionary at Greensboro, N. C., is a
fair expression of the manner in which
the work is regarded, not only in
North Carolina, but also in other
States:
"I am glad to say to you in my
fourth quarterly report that the work
of co-operation in North Carolina is
no longer an experiment, but a decided
success. We have, on account of the
telling influence over our churches
and preachers, more than doubled our
contributions over any previous year,
and have seen a two-fold brighter
prospect before us for the Conven
tional year."
STORM STRICKEN FLORIDA.
In a letter from Lake City, Fla., ac
knowledging the receipt of an appro
priation from the Home Mission
Board, the writer gives the following
picture of the destruction of church
property:
"Ten church houses in Beulah As
sociation totally destroyed by the
storm of September 29th ult. The
people cannot rebuild their houses and
their church houses. Many of our cit
izens are yet camping under rudely
provided shelters because of their
property all having been destroyed by
storm, and they have no means with
which to buy lumber and nails to re
build.
“All the churches in this (Beulah)
Association which were destroyed
were neat framed buildings. » » »

with pen.”
Resoliilionf.
Shiloh Church,
Green County, Ga., Nov., 1896.
Your committee, having been re
quested by the church in conference
to present at this meeting some
thoughts in regard to our beloved
pastor, who has seen fit to tender to
this church his resignation, beg leave
to present the following thoughts:
Our brother and pastor, who is so
generally known by the Christian
people throughout this section of
Georgia, and especially in the bounds
of the Georgia Association, needs no
commendation for Christian character.
Members of this church have been
born and arrived at years of maturity
under the sound of his voice, present
ing a crucified Savior and appealing in
a sympathetic way to depraved hu
man nature to accept Jesus and live.
This church and people know noth
ing but to love, honor and respect
him for the twenty years of service he
lias so faithfully rendered.
in accepting his resignation, we
do so realizing that this church,
which he has so faithfully served, sus
tains a great loss.
Our brother, John S. Ca’Jaway, was
called to take charge of ib.is church in
the year 1877 by such pious and un
pretentious brethren as. William
Mayo, James Jenkins, Fred McWhor
ter and Reuben West, all of whom
have finished their work and now
await the resurrection to receive tue
rewaru which awaits those who re
main faithful unto the end.
It may be well to put upon record
the fact that our pastor during this
long period of service has never dis
appointed his congregation, never let
ting anything keep him from filling
his pulpit at all appointed meetings.
Such is the confidence of this people
th«S> his service at the marriage altar,
as well as at the grave, were at all
times sought and as often times ren
dered. At all times he has command
ed the respect and confidence of those
who made no pretentions to religion.
To give even an outline of his work
at this church alone, or to present
his Christian character in its loveli
ness, would require the effort of a
more fertile brain than those of your
committee. We can truthfully say
our hearts are made sad in accepting
his resignation, and assure him that
he has our love, respect and confi
dence.
That our prayers for h.s happiness
here, and a dwelling place with the
God he serves, go up in his behalf.
We know of nothing more commenda
ble than to present the fact that our
pastor has labored among this people
for twenty years without giving of
fense, and resigns of his own will,
realizing that his physical strength re
quires more rest, and believing that
the church would be benefited by a
change. These are the reasons for
his resignation.
In presenting these few remarks we
do so realizing the fact that they are
presented somewhat in a different
form from that usually pursued, and
present them for the. adoption or re
jection of this church in conference.
Respectfully' submitted.

THE EXPOSITION MEDAL.
The Atlanta Business College is the
only college of actual business training
and Benn Pitman shorthand in Atlanta. I
Every business college in this part of
the country made an exhibit at the Cot
ton States and International Exposition,
and the official jury of awards gave the
medal and first prize to The Atlanta
Business College, over all competitors,
for the “methods of instruction.”
The public will do well to investigate
the work done by The Atlanta Business'
College before patronizing the theo
retical Cheap John schoolsit hat are clam

The Worth is the Thing
edw l!L§tewart.
The fabric and workmanship of my goods give highest value and actual
worth, and at prices that challenge comparison.
Suits and Overcoats ....
That are good but not high-priced and with much more wear in them than
in the ordinary kind of clothing.

college occupies the largest and finest
quarters of any business college in the
South, and has more professional teach
era than all other business colleges in
Georgia combined. The business or the
shorthand scholarship costs SSO. Call
or write for further information. The
college is on Whitehall, near Trinity
avenue.
The Evangel: The following para
graph, which we find in the Standard,
about the Baptist Congress, is the
most hopeful sign we have seen about
the concern: it has been the pur
pose of the executive committee to so
arrange the program that the final
and crowning influence of the meet
ings shall be strongly spiritual.” We
sincerely desire that the next meet
ing, to be held a year hence in Chica
go, may close in the same key as the
one recently held in Nashville. If
the executive committee keep their
avowed purpose In view, the congress
may yet serve some good purpose.

A Chance'to Make Money.
I have berries, grapes and peaches, a
year old, fresh as when picked. I use
the California Cold process, do not heat
or seal the fruit, jnst put it up cold,
keeps perfectly fresh, and costs almost
nothing; can put up a bushel in ten
minutes. Last week I sold directions
to over 120 families; anyone will pay a
dollar for directions, when they see the
beautiful samples of fruit. As there
are many poor people like myself, I con
sider it my duty to give my experience
to such, and feel confident any one can
make one or two hundred dollars around
home in a few days. I will mail sample
of fruit and complete directions, to any
of your readers, for eighteen two cent
stamps, which is only the actual cost of
the samples, postage, etc., to me.
