An active Christian Scientist and valued correspondent thus writes:—
"I have a suggestion, which, if meeting your approval I hope you will find space for in the Journal It is this With the April number began a new year. There are upwards of ninety church organizations or societies whose cards appear in the Journal There appear also the notices of about one hundred and fourteen unorganized societies. If the members of the latter throughout the field will only work during one month— say the month of June to send ten new names as subscribers to the Journal as the result of their united efforts, I have no doubt they can accomplish their purpose, and thus would the subscription list be increased by the addition of eleven hundred and forty names. Then assuming that the organized churches will average more than double the membership, if the members forming our churches will work in the same manner for twenty names, we may add from this quarter, eighteen hundred more, making a grand increase of twenty-nine hundred and forty, or in round numbers, three thousand new subscribers.
I speak with confidence of this plan from personal experience, since an examination of your records will show that over two years ago I sent twenty-six names as the result of a similar effort. It being the new year for the Journal let this united effort be made in all quarters of the field."
