The Magazine.
Fund for Free Distribution to Soldiers and Sailors.
—We have to thank those of our readers who have already responded to the appeal for an increase of donations to this Fund. We have, no doubt, others also will respond in due course. The rise in the price of the Magazine makes a considerable difference in the outlay. We send about 1,250 monthly to soldiers and sailors, which come to, at cost price, a sum of £9 odds, inclusive of carriage. We consider this an important part of our humble efforts for the spiritual benefit of the brave defenders of our country.
