THE WORK AND THE WORKERS

By Editor

NEARLY 10,000 new yearly subscriptions have been received for Liberty magazine during the past three months. Let the good work go on. Special price for 10 subscriptions, only $2.00.

THOUSANDS of copies of the beautiful January Life and Health are being ordered. Have you seen this “Reducing the Cost of Living” number?

ONE thousand copies of Protestant Magazine and Liberty magazine were used in connection with the recent series of three religious liberty lectures delivered in Grand Army of the Republic Hall, Washington, D. C., by Wm. Lloyd Clark, under the auspices of the Guardians of Liberty.

THREE striking features in the January Protestant Magazine that you cannot afford to miss: President Attends Mass, Rome Denounces Our “Lying Constitution,” and Mr. Bryan’s Speech to the Knights of Columbus, in Philadelphia, on Columbus day. While they last, the October, November, and December, 1913, numbers will be added free to all yearly subscriptions for 1914.

YOU would better reserve 20 copies ($1.00) or 50 copies ($2.00) of the January Protestant Magazine before the entire edition is exhausted. Anticipating an unusual demand for this “President at Mass,” “Lying Constitution,” and “Mr. Bryan and the K. of C.” number, we have printed a large edition. Single copies, 10 cents. SPECIAL HOLIDAY OFFER: 5 six-month subscriptions, to five addresses, only $1.50—regular price, $2.50.

Two priests were recently seen in one of the Washington, D. C., public libraries taking note of the fact that the Protestant Magazine is displayed there. The American Federation of Catholic Societies, the Knights of Columbus, and other Roman organizations are endeavoring to exclude all truly Protestant literature not only from the United States mails but also from our public libraries. Failing to have it excluded, they next endeavor to have it placed upon the “special” list, where it will not be seen, but will have to be called for to be obtained. Is this the case in your town? Investigate, and help to remedy the situation. Liberty, the Protestant Magazine, and Life and Health should be on the reading-table of your public library. Special library rate for the three magazines, one year (regular price, $2.35), only $1.90. To obtain this reduction, be sure to mark your order “library rate.” Remember the Y. M. C. A. when making up your list.

ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH, WASHINGTON, D. C., AND SOME OF THE NOTABLES WHO ATTENDED THE PAN-AMERICAN MASS IN IT

ARE you having a hard time to make ends meet? Read the symposium of seven helpful articles on “What I Know About Reducing the Cost of Living,” found in the beautiful January Life and Health. Why not order 20 copies for $1.00, or 50 copies for $2.00. “Send at once 1,000 more January number,” writes our Chicago agency. “Have already disposed of 1,000. Rush these.” Order 50 today. A good seller!

IT was a remarkable coincidence that on Thursday, November 27, while our Protestant President was attending the Fifth Pan-American Mass, in St. Patrick’s Church, Washington, D. C., the nominally Catholic king of Italy, Victor Emmanuel, was delivering his speech from the throne at the opening of the Italian parliament, in which he outlined his policy on church and state relationship thus: “The amplest religious freedom, with no interference on the part of the church in the functions of the state, which is the sole representative of the totality of the citizens and possesses unlimited sovereignty.” See New World (Catholic), Dec. 5, 1913. If you wish to study church and state principles further, send 20 cents for the current issues of Liberty and the Protestant. Or send $1.30 for both magazines one year.

DURING the holidays we will let down the bars a bit and let you send in five six-month subscriptions for the Protestant Magazine for only $1.50, or 30 cents each. Place it in your public library and in the hands of your friends. Ask the librarian to place it on the reading-table, along with the other magazines. Drop in occasionally and notice where it has been placed.
