How They Like It

By Editor

WE recognized some of the imperfections in the July issue of Life and Health, and have made some improvement in the August number, but we are not satisfied yet, and shall endeavor to make each succeeding number a little better, a little more helpful than any previous issue.

In order to carry out all our plans, we shall need to put more expense into the production of the journal, and our friends can help by securing subscriptions for Life and Health. We still continue the offer to send the magazine for one year to six new subscribers in the United States or Canada, for $2.50.

We are receiving most encouraging words concerning Life and Health, from those who have seen the July number.

A tract society secretary in one of our old conferences writes:—

“I have not been able to give the sample copy of our new health journal the attention I should be glad to, but in looking it over this morning, I was much pleased with it. . . . Be assured I shall be only too happy to lend what little influence I may have in favor of this good health journal.”

Another tract society secretary writes:—

“We start the list here with the principal of the academy, the treasurer of the conference, and the secretary. We assure you that you will have our co-operation.”

A State agent in a far away conference writes:—

“I am much pleased with the prospect of having a health journal that can be used with confidence and at a reasonable price. Life and Health has my interest and best wishes, and I would like to know your terms to agents.”

A tract society secretary asks that sample copies be sent to certain addresses, promising to try to secure some subscriptions, and says further:—

“Have just received the July number of Life and Health, and am very much pleased with it. . . . I think it should have a wide circulation, and we, in this office, will try to get as many as we can to subscribe for it.”

We are glad to say that subscriptions are coming in singly, by twos, by half dozens, and from one agent, orders have been received for more than fifty subscriptions, while those who wish to sell the journal are ordering 25, 50, and 100 copies at a time.

See our offer in the Youth’s Instructor of July 26. This will give a good opportunity for our young people to do something, and they will find that Life and Health will sell readily, and will open the way for other missionary effort.

We have not yet secured all of the one hundred persons whom we called for in the REVIEW of July 14, to sell one hundred or more copies a month. Let us hear from others. Address Life and Health, 222 North Capitol St., Washington, D. C.
