MORE ABOUT ANNUALS.

By Barbara C. Stickney

We are sorry to report a failure in disposing of all the Annuals that the Missionary Society voted to take at its yearly meeting; and it arises in this manner; over six thousand were ordered by individuals at our camp-meeting, and these have been sent. Then an estimate was made that Oakland could take four thousand, and that of course San Francisco could take fully as many; but they have not been able to come up to these figures, about one half of this number has been taken by these places. We do not want to send to the districts unless ordered; so those remaining over will be a dead loss to the Society. In this case it will be looked upon as a favor and in fact a donation to our State Society, for those to order what can be disposed of in their vicinity.

The price, 1.50 per hundred, is very reasonable and much good may be accomplished with them in bringing us into notice as a people. It is not yet too late as they will be useful for a year to come.

The following notice from The Weekly Rescue of Los Angeles, a temperance paper, to whom a few copies had been sent, shows the favorable impression made by them:—

"The California Health and Temperance Association, of Oakland, has just issued 'The Family Health and Temperance Annual,' a pamphlet telling what to eat and drink, what to avoid eating and drinking, and how to live in order to enjoy good health. These are things worth knowing, and everybody ought to feel an interest. For particulars address Barbara C. Stickney, Sec. H. and T. Association, Oakland, Cal."

Send your orders accompanied with directions how they shall be sent. It is not necessary to send the money when the business can be done through the missionary officers. BARBARA C. STICKNEY.
