SUNDAY-SCHOOL UNION. 15

The condition on which the gratuitous numbers of the Missionary
Advocate are issued are:

1. That the spirit of the Chapter on Missions is carried out on the
station or circuit. -- See Discipline, p. 207.

2. That the funds raised on the credit of the General Missionary
Cause be sent to the Treasurer of the Parent Missionary Society at the
earliest practicable period.

3. That the application for the gratis numbers be made invariably
by the pastor, and one or more of the members of his Missionary
Committee.

This application should come forward every year, and if pos-
sible during the months of February and March, as the March number
is the last for the year. The new volume commences April 1. Will
the brethren renew their applications?
