sent in enough subscriptions to make our May issue the largest
mailing in our history. We did not surpass our previous record by
any great amount but we were able to top it and we are thankful.

does not pay the cost of the paper but there are members of "the
fellowship of the concerned ones" who regularly help us and we
thank God for them.... Because of the nature of this issue of the
paper we are having extra copies printed and these will be made
available to you at the rate of ten for one dollar. We earnestly

brethren.... If your subscription is due to expire this year and
