AN APPEAL FOR HELP.

By D. H. Lamson

The V. M. societies of Dist. No. 8, located at Jay and St. Charles, wish present aid from the missionary workers in all parts of the field.

The church at Jay has thirty-one, and the church at St. Charles thirty-six, copies of the SIGNS, for which to furnish interested readers during 1878. Will those who can do so, send names of parties who will probably be benefited by the perusal of our pioneer paper, for the society at Jay to the president, Mrs. A. McGregor, or to the secretary, Mrs. Eleanora Irving, Jay, Saginaw Co., Mich.; and for the society at St. Charles, to the president, Mrs. Antoinette Guilford, or to the secretary, Mrs. Diantha Wilkinson, St. Charles, Saginaw Co., Mich.?

Let the names of no unknown persons be sent, but rather the names of those who would receive the paper with pleasure, and read it with profit.

As far as possible, please observe the following rules: 1. Write correctly and plainly the name of the person to whom the paper is to be sent, and of the post-office, county, and State. 2. Please inform us, also, whether the individual is a gentleman or a lady, the age, as nearly as can be ascertained, and the occupation. All these items may aid materially in subsequent correspondence.

And now, Christian helpers, in whatever part of the field you may be, in this, or other States, or in foreign lands where the English language is spoken, do not hesitate a moment, but send names, and may you be blessed, as we hope to be, not only in time, but in eternity.

D. H. Lamson, For the Societies.
