"THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY."

The rich treat which this number of the MISSIONARY presents may well
suggest the privilege and duty not only of reading, but also of
circulating it. Let each reader possess himself of these important facts
and figures--these broad views as to the great work laid on the hearts
of American patriots and Christians--and then hand the magazine to some
neighbor. Let us suggest farther, that the MISSIONARY, in its monthly
issues, is full of the same sort of facts and thoughts, and should be
more widely read--it should have a _larger list of paying subscribers_.
Please read the subjoined letter from a converted Chinaman and then "go
and do thou likewise."

LOS ANGELES, CAL., Sept. 25, 1889.

_Dear American Missionary:_

I am sorry to say that I have utterly forgotten to pay you
for the _American Missionary_ for the year 1889. Now I beg
your pardon for that. You know I have used to send the money
through our pastor Dr. Pond, but since I had left San
Francisco visiting missions in different towns and cities
and therefore the _American Missionary_ did not reached me
while I am away from Los Angeles, so my attention of paying
for it was dropped from that point. Now I sent you _one
dollars_ including a new subscriber, our brother Jue King.
While I am writing this note another brother came in who
wish to get one also, and therefore have to send you $1.50,
one dollar & 50 cents. This brother name Leung Chow, Los
Angeles. Address Jue King's to the same P.O. Box as mine and
