Renew Promptly.
We often meet subscribers whose

say that they wanted the paper on,
uidn't want to miss a copy, but neg
lected to renew; "didn't come to
town," etc. They show their faith by
renewing. But they could often
avoid missing several issues of the
paper by using the U. S. mails, which
were invented for just such purposes
