The Youth's Instructor.
By James White
The receipts of the INSTRUCTOR, for the first four years fell much short of expenditures. The last year its subscription list increased one third, and receipts have been equal to expenditures. I have endeavored to stand by this little teacher in all its poverty and weakness, until it has gained friends and help to sustain itself, and now I wish to add it to the publishing department as the property of the church. I presume none will lose any interest in this precious sheet because of the change. They should not. While I shall expect a more general interest in the little paper in consequence of its being the property of the church. I rejoice to see this day, when I have no personal interest in the REVIEW Office. In common with my brethren, I have a deep interest in the prosperity of our Office of publication, and shall labor as arduously as ever to promote its general good. With many thanks, dear brethren and sisters for your timely aid, I now commit the INSTRUCTOR, which I trust has blest your children, to the care of our Publishing Committee, who now hold in charge all the property of the Office. And may the numbers of its readers, supporters and contributors greatly increase, The terms of the INSTRUCTOR for the next year will be as follows—Single copy 36 cents. Those who order it for their friends, 25 cents. From five to ten copies addressed to one person, 25 cents each. From ten to twenty-five copies addressed to one person, 20 cents each. From twenty-five to one hundred copies addressed to one person, 15 cents each. There are two reasons for reducing the price where a quantity is sent to one person. First, much time is saved in sending a package to one person, instead of writing the names on each paper. And second, we wish to induce persons to take large quantities to distribute. After filling the list of regular subscribers, the type being set, we can print a few surplus hundreds for those who wish a quantity, cheap. JAMES WHITE.
