THE WORK AND THE WORKERS

Up to March 3 the total sale of the Protestant Free Press Extra amounted to 251,069 copies. And still it goes!

Now watch the March or “Congressional Free Press Hearing” edition of the Protestant Magazine go! Have you ordered YOUR supply?

THE recorder of the Wisconsin State Court of the Guardians of Liberty writes: “Inclosed please find check for $1.25, for which send us 125 copies of the Free Press Extra of the Protestant Magazine.”

MONDAY, March 1, the Washington (D. C.) Missionary College campaign with the March or “Congressional Free Press Hearing” number of the Protestant Magazine began. The students report good success in the sale of this issue in the city of Washington.

A COMPLIMENTARY notice of the March Protestant Magazine, also of the Free Press Extra, appears in the February 27 issue of the Menace, Aurora, Mo., thus bringing these two important documents to the favorable notice of 1,415,569 subscribers, or over 7,000,000 readers, counting five readers to every copy circulated.

THE master recorder of one of the Columbus (Ohio) courts of the Guardians of Liberty writes: “At a regular meeting of — Court No. —, a motion carried that we purchase 100 copies of the Free Press Extra of the Protestant Magazine. Send these at once, also bill for same, and check will be immediately sent you.”

SEND 20 cents in stamps for the February (“Free Press”) and the March (“Congressional Free Press Hearing”) numbers of the Protestant Magazine, and we will throw in the Free Press Extra FREE OF CHARGE. Regular price of the three, 25 cents; or the three mailed to FOUR addresses for 50 cents, or to EIGHT addresses for $1.00.

“GREAT BRITAIN Recognizes the Chair of Peter,” is the flaring two-column heading of a long editorial in the Morning Star, of New Orleans, dated February 27. The bold subtitle continues thus: “As a Great World Power, in the Appointment of an Ambassador to the Vatican—French Journals Declare—‘The Protestant King of England Has Stretched a Diplomatic Bridge Over the Chasm of Centuries, Which Is of the Greatest Importance.’” This subject is ably discussed in the January or “England, Russia, and the Vatican,” “Pan-American Mass,” and “Keeping Faith With Heretics” number of the Protestant Magazine. Send 25 cents for 5 copies, or $1.00 for 20, or $2.00 for 50. Scatter them in your neighborhood. These are stirring times.

DR. LYDIA E. PARMELE writes: “I have the Life and Health on my table continually. I would not be without it. I like to use it in connection with my talks on health and temperance.” Have you seen the March number? Get it, and pass it on.

A BROTHER in Portland, Oregon, writes: “I am inclosing a petition bearing 125 names of voters opposed to the passage of bills H. R. 20644 and 20780. I have had to work every day, but have secured these signatures at odd times and evenings. Think I have done well, considering. Trusting that the Lord will be with us in this work, and that we shall be more than conquerors.”

“I HAVE done my best with the bundle of 100 Free Press Extra,” writes a Schenectady (N. Y.) patriot. “The inclosed petitions I hasten to get to you before the end of this session of Congress. I feel we must make a demonstration of strength. I placed several copies in the Y. M. C. A., and over half my bundle in the hands of members of the ministry. Also sent a large number of petitions into Masonic and Odd Fellow circles. Hope they will be heard from. Any time I can be of service for work of this kind, command me. My youth and early life were cursed by papal superstitious misguiding; and my remaining years, which are not many at best, shall be devoted to fighting, to the best of my ability, mankind’s most fearful enemy.”

A DEAR old lady in Dayton, Wash., writes thus of her work with the petition on the Free Press Extra of the Protestant Magazine: “I have got what signers I could. I live seven miles from town, and the neighbors do not live very close together. I am old and feeble, but my neighbors helped me to go around and get the signatures.” This dear sister secured 31 signatures. How many of our young people did as well?

IN his able article on “Religious Bigotry,” in the Presbyterian of the South, Prof. Addison Hogue, of Washington and Lee University, comments thus upon the efforts of the Roman Catholics to suppress Protestant publications: “Suppose they succeed in having the Menace suppressed by the postal authorities, will the Protestant Magazine go next? And if so, where will it stop?” His entire article was republished in the March, 1915, issue of the Home Field, Atlanta, Ga., which reaches about 2,000,000 Baptists of the South. The Roman press is also reproducing it. All this helps the Protestant Magazine.
