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.
Notice to Subscribers in U.S.A. and other Neutral Countries.
—According to new Government regulations, all Magazines must be forwarded to neutral countries through newspaper companies or booksellers who have a special license for such transmission. We have availed ourselves of the license of Messrs. Menzies & Co., and the charge is one half-penny per copy. Postage also is now increased to one penny per copy. This means that, as things go at present, we must charge one shilling extra per annum for Magazines to the United States, S. America, Holland, etc. British Colonies—Canada, Australia, etc.—do not, of course, come under this regulation.
