SIXTY-CENTS-A-WEEK FUND
In this issue of the RECORD you will
find a statement of the Sixty-cents-a-
week Fund for the first quarter of 1927,
and we are glad to report that we have
made a small gain. For the first quar-
ter of 1926 our standing was 34.61 per
cent while for the first quarter of this
year it is 36.81 per cent or a gain of
2.21 per cent for the period. We feel
encouraged that we have even a slight
gain in this union.
However, we notice from Brother
Shaw’s letter that the field as a whole
has remitted $8,000.00 less for the first
three month of this year than for the
same period in 1926, notwithstanding
an increase in membership in 1927 of
nearly 2,000.
We trust that the members in our
union will continue to be faithful in
their tithe and mission offerings so as to
forward the work in mission fields.

from the point of increased ef-

THE FAM: OBIBLE TEACHER
pons
What is it? How many of our readers
have ever used it in missionary endea-
vor? Did you know that there is prob-
ably no better channel to interest your
neighbors and friends than through this
means.
The family Bible Teacher is a series
of well written Bible studies arranged
in order so that it will be easy to give
them out in a proper consecutive series
They are not expensive. Your Book
and Bible House secretary will be glad
to furnish them to you. This publica-
tion really puts into the hands of every
one who desires, a series of studies ar-
ranged in a systematic plan, and thus
one is enabled to give the salient points
of our message to the people.
. Missionary leader! Wont you encour-
age the members of your church to use
more of these excellent lessons? Each
series comes packed in an envelope.

LARGE SIGNS CLUB PRICE
CUT
‘A few months ago a short term, low-
priced Signs club offer was made to
evangelists. The immediate and large
response from evangelists and the re-
quests from others to be» allowed to
share in the plan have caused us to re-
vise our offer slightly, and to extend it
to every one—evangelists, pastors,
church missionary societies, individual
church members. The rates given be-
low are based on a ten-week subscrip-
tion, with the privilege of renewing
indefinitely. The minimum size of club
is one hundred.
