A GENUINE . O. . CALL.
The blow has fallen. The War Industries Board lias issued regulations with
reference to periodicals that will compel us to get upon a cash-in-advance basis.
The regulations appear to be somewhat different from those that apply to newspa
pers, but in the end they mean the same at this point. We cannot continue to carry
unpaid subscriptions long and continue to get white paper, and we must adjust our
selves to the new conditions as rapidly as possible. We therefore make our appeal.
THE LABEL TELLS DATE OF EXPIRATION.
Look up at the little yellow label. It is probably sticking on this page. If it reads
1 Jan 19, it means that your subscription is paid to January 1, 1919; but, if there is
an 18 after the month, it indicates that your subscription expires iu 1918. If you
are not paid in advance, do not wait for any further notice. Now is the time to
send check to advance it to 1919.
DO NOT DROP FROM OUR LIST.
We do not want to lose a single subscriber. This is no time to desert your Church
paper. You never needed it more than now to keep.up with the advance movements
of the Church in these tremendous times. Never was there a time when you were
in greater danger of being misled by the secular press in religious maHers, and
there never was a time when it was more important for you to do your part in the
Church. And then there never was a time when the Church paper needed you more
than it does now. We are working in the face of many difficulties, and we need
your help. pAST()RS HLp
We beg every pastor to come to aur help at this time. Do not let any subscriber
run over his date and become lost to us. Many will not think af us if you do not
call their attention to us. State the situation from the pulpit, but do not stop with
that; go to see each one individually. It can be done, if you will get right down
after them. We know it can, because some do it. Altogether for a clean sheet!
