For Individual Missionary Work.

WE understand that a recent ruling of the Post Office Department prevents our churches from mailing papers to their readers, at pound rates. If there were no other plan which could be adopted to remove this difficulty, it would be a serious obstacle to missionary effort in the remailing of the Sentinel—the work which so many of our people have been doing for years. This good work certainly must be done, and in order that it may, we suggest the following plan:—
Where a club of five or more Sentinels is taken, we will mail each of these magazines to addresses which the church (or individual) may furnish us, at the rate of twenty cents for three months, and the addresses may be changed every three months if desired. So for twenty dollars a quarter, a church may have one hundred copies of the Sentinel sent three months to one hundred different addresses, and we will do all the work of mailing. Then the next quarter the one hundred copies may be sent to one hundred new addresses. On the same basis, if a person or a church takes only five copies, we will mail them to the addresses they may furnish, three months for one dollar.
It is, of course, expected that the correspondence with these individuals will be carried on by the members of the churches, just the same as if they were mailing the papers each month.
What a field there is for this kind of work! Who can use one hundred copies or less? Will not one hundred churches send us lists of one hundred names to whom the Sentinel may be sent for the next three months? How many names will you furnish, and pay for the papers to be sent them?
