SAD FACTS.

The men of America spend more in a year for tobacco than the whole church has spent in eighteen centuries to spread the Gospel.
Sinners spend more for whisky in forty-eight hours than all the churches give to the missions in a year.
The needless use of buttons that women put on their kid gloves would double the missionary contributions.
India has 24,000,000 widows, 75,000 of whom are under nine years of age. The number of women shut up in zenanas is 40,000,000.—Christian Worker.
