—In list of donations in November issue—Jewish and Foreign Missions Fund: Mule and Cart for Rev. J. B. Radasi, per Mr. D. Macleod, elder, St. Jude’s—the following abbreviations should have been: Miss M’G., not Miss M. G., 5/; Miss A. M. M’Q., not Miss A. M., 10/; Miss M’K., not Miss M. R., 10/; and M. G., not Miss M.

The Magazine.
The Increase in Price of Magazine.—We regret that, owing to the large increase in the price of paper and cost of production, we are under the necessity of increasing the price of Magazine to 4d. per copy, postage 1d. extra to the home country. The subscription for six months, beginning with the November issue, will thus be 2/6; for twelve months, 5/. Magazines to the United States, South America, etc., which are sent through a special agent, will come to the same price (5/), while the price to British Colonies (Canada, Australia, etc.), will be 4/6 including postage, the postage being still one halfpenny. It is desirable that our Canadian subscribers should send their money per Money Orders, as dollar notes are under value at present. We may point out that this increase (9d. for the half-year) means that single copies to the home country for the current year, May, 1918, to April, 1919, cost precisely 4/2.
