Least Expensive Church Organ.
By A. J. B.
EVERY reader of the REVIEW will be glad to learn that, taking into account the amount of reading-matter furnished, the subscription price of this paper, $1.50 per year, is lower than that of any other church organ published in the United States. For example, there lie on the table before us the following well-known weekly denominational organs: The Christian Advocate (Methodist, $2.50 a year), The Church Standard (Anglican, $2.50 a year), The Examiner (Baptist, $2.50 a year), The Northwestern Christian Advocate (Methodist, $1.60 a year), The Catholic Mirror ($2.00 a year), The New York Observer (Presbyterian, $3.00 a year), The Sabbath Recorder (Seventh-day Baptist, $2.00 a year), The Episcopal Recorder (Reformed Episcopal, $2.50 a year), The Western Recorder (Baptist, $2.00 a year), The Congregationalist ($3.00 a year), The Baptist Commonwealth (1.50 a year), The American Friend (Society of Friends, $1.50 a year), The Christian Herald (Baptist, $1.50 a year), The Midland (United Presbyterian, $1.50 a year), The Free Methodist ($1.50 a year), and still others we might select from our exchange list. As will be seen, the average subscription price of these various church organs is much higher than that of the REVIEW. Then, too, another fact should be taken into consideration; namely, that all of these other periodicals are filled with column after column of advertisements, which, while they should enable the publishers to lower the subscription price, still deprive the reader of so much bona fide reading-matter. The REVIEW contains no outside advertisements whatever, and but one page of advertisements concerning matters pertaining to present truth. Therefore, taking everything into consideration,—the extra reading-matter furnished in the regular monthly supplement, other extra supplements from time to time, the absence of all advertisements not pertaining to the cause, the extra size of the page, and the great value of the first-page articles and of those found in the other departments of the paper,—the REVIEW AND HERALD, at $1.50 a year, or three cents a week, is certainly the least expensive church organ in the country. Let every one who reads this do everything in his power to secure new subscribers. If the list continues to grow as it has the past week, the REVIEW will soon be read by every Seventh-day Adventist every week. What will you do to help? A. J. B.
