THE WORK

AND THE WORKERS

Six of our Washington Missionary College (Seminary) students have been selling the January Protestant Magazine on the streets of Washington, D. C., with excellent success. One gentleman sold 50 copies in one and one-half hours.

A CHICAGO business man writes: "I saw the advertisement of Life and Health in a California magazine, and have been trying to get the — number here in Chicago, but without success. Enclosed find 10 cents for the same. I may become a subscriber."

The beautiful cover design of the January Life and Health is a sufficient inducement for any one to buy the magazine. It is selling very rapidly — this "How to Reduce the Cost of Living" number. Send $1.00 for 20 or $2.00 for 50 copies. Single copy, 10 cents.

The news stand department of the largest department store in Washington, D. C., has just purchased 100 copies of the January Protestant Magazine, on consignment, to meet the local demand for this excellent "Pan-American Mass," "Mr. Bryan and Rome," and "Lying Constitution" number.

In a 26-inch letter from Mgr. W. T. Russell, pastor of St. Patrick's Church, Washington, D. C., to Rev. R. H. McKim, pastor of the Protestant Church of the Epiphany, the former refers to our student-agents as "these overzealous venders." See page 13 of the Washington Post for Monday, December 22.

The January number of the Protestant Magazine follows the December or "Idolatry of the Mass" number very nicely, as it tells all about the "Fifth Pan-American Mass." Remember, the special holiday offer of 15 months for $1.00. We give the October, November, and December, 1913, issues free with every 1914 subscription at the regular price.

In his open letter to Dr. R. H. McKim, the speaker at the great Protestant mass meeting recently held in Washington, D. C., Mgr. Wm. T. Russell, pastor of St. Patrick's Church, refers indignantly to the January Protestant Magazine, and to the fact of its sale on the streets of our nation's capital. See Washington Post of Dec. 22, 1913. Our student-agents are selling the magazine to the Catholic as well as the Protestant policemen.

"The magazine Life and Health was offered for sale at the door today," writes a business man of Trenton, N. J., "and I like the publication so much that I feel like subscribing. Do you issue bound volumes? Have you any former volumes, bound or unbound, for sale?" Bound volumes, half-leather, cost $1.75, postpaid.

A PROMINENT W. C. T. U. worker in Kansas writes: "I have no copy of Life and Health later than August, 1910, and would like to know if your journal is still published at the same price, and in the same place? Also have you any back numbers for the last two or three years that you can sell at a reduction so that we could use them for free distribution in our W. C. T. U. work for medical temperance?"

Unfortunately we have no back numbers of this magazine. Every edition is cleaned up from month to month.

A LADY writes from Sioux City, Iowa: "A copy of your Life and Health for 1908 just came into my hands. I do think it's the best paper of its kind I ever read. Will you kindly send me a sample copy?"

Have you seen the January number? It is a good one to sell.
