We have abandoned stereotyping for the present, and so reduced our expenses for printing that $250 per month will hereafter cover the cost of getting out our
Papers. With our present list of subscribers we can make our monthly receipts for the coming year more than meet all of our expenses.
There will be due us on the 1st of January from annual members and subscribers $4,500, and we hope to largely increase our list during the coming year.
But our friends must stand by and help us, in order that our hopes may be realized.
