The Life Boat was first issued in March, 1898, and from a circulation of less than five hundred, has gone to the fourteen thousand mark. It is a magazine of sixteen pages and cover. It is published monthly, and each number is illustrated with characteristic scenes of mission work and city life. The editors endeavor to make it a true reflection of the work with which it is so intimately connected. The constant aim is to put into the Life Boat only such matter as will be readily comprehended and appreciated by the most ignorant and unlearned in the city’s slums, or behind prison bars, and the success and wide circulation of the Life Boat has clearly demonstrated that this simple gospel story, the story of how men and women are transformed by grace, is equally interesting to the well-educated and those of refined tastes. Two special prison editions of fifty thousand copies have been issued, one in 1899 and one in 1900. A large number of regular correspondents have resulted from these efforts. Another special Prisoners’ Number of the paper will be issued early in 1902, if sufficient funds are raised.
