We find from a comparison of our memoranda of new subscribers for the months of January and February that in the former month we received sixteen more than in the latter. The number for February should have been larger, as extensive additions have been made to the different Churches since the 1st of January. However, we are grateful to the brethren who have secured us these names, and hope that their zeal will continue to abound and that it will provoke many more to go and do like wise. Here are their names, with the number of subscribers sent us by each one: H. M. Lynn, 1; M. S. McGrew, 1; W. S. Elder, 1; A. H. Long, 1; B. T. Fellows, 2; A. J. Hull, 1; John Hellem, 2; Mrs. B. McFadden, 1; A. C. Leaman, 1; J. Hickernell, 1; P. Lookingbill, 1; Editor, 1; J. F. Meixel, 1; C. Clem, 2; Mrs. Shuck, 1; W. H. Forthrup, 1; I. W. Lowman, 1; E. B. Bell, 1; Abr. Lasher, 1; F. Komp, 3; B. D. Bright, 1; D. S. Warner, 2; D. A. L. Laverty, 1; J. W. Deshong, 2; John Martin, 1; J. F. Betz, 1; A. J. Miner, 1; Jos. Grimm, 1; R. H. Bolton, 1. Making a total of THIRTY-FOUR, new names for February. We desire that extraordinary efforts be made by the preachers and by all our agents during March and April to increase our lists. Let not a family anywhere be without the paper if they can be induced to subscribe. But give us good names, so that there may be no losses.
