HAMES, Business Manager | FOUNDATIONS New Series, Vol. 13, No. 9 NEW YEAR'S GREETINGS! CONTINUED good tidings! THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY is able to bring to its constituency news of a considerable increase in its circulation list for the year. Last year for the period from March 15th to December 1st we gained 750 net in excess of the number for that period during the year previous. This year the gain is 2,068, or more than one hundred and seventy-five per cent over last year's figures. The One Hundred Roll It really ought to be called the two hundred roll, for of the twentysix churches listed below as eligible, all but seven have sent in clubs numbering more than one hundred. A year ago only one church reached the two hundred mark; this year three have done so and two have surpassed it. Although the list of churches in this year's roll numbers one less than it did last year, the total enrollment is 3,559, making an increase of more than two hundred over last year. The roll follows: Readers will remember that, according to previous announcement, the subscription price was increased December 1st. We trust that despite this fact further gains in circulation will be had. In accordance with the suggestion made last month, a number of pastors who have heretofore received THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY free have already enrolled as paid subscribers. EVERY READER GET A READER |
