Mv DEAR BROTHER:--

Under another cover we mail you copies of the rrstissue of the little paper which is to be published by the Home.We beg youto give the paper and its objects a passing notice. In order to make the uu-dertaking a success, it is necessary to have the co-operatian of all ourpastors. We hope in this way to increase an interest in the Home.

OUR AIM.- In this sheet we will give information concerning the workand needs of the Home, and acknowledge the receipt of gifts and money.In addition to this it will give the boys employment and manual andmental training. We expect to do plain job work, such as letter heads,envelopes, circulars, programs, and parish papers.

OUR REQUEST.- Will you please speak of our undertaking to yourcongregation and Sunday School and solicit subscriptions? We suggestthat you ask some one of your congregation or Sunday School to gelup clubs of individuals, or subscriptions for free distribution in yourSunday School. If this is not practicable, could you send us a list ofnames, who might become subscribers?

We will be glad to send sample copies at any time.Yours Fraternally,

B .W. CRONK, Sup tP.S. Please call attention to the fact that the work in puLlishin.g

the paper is done by the children of the Home. Also, that a liberal sup-port of tfie paper will enable us to enlarge it, and give general readingfor the benefit of Sunday Schools.
