We have had an average of only four evangelists m the field all their time, and of one other, two-thirds of his time, but have gaineu 766 additions to the church an average of 166 to each man.

It C09t the State Evangelist more labor perhaps to revise the 26 Church Registers, to cull out the disorderly names, to visit them in person, or get the elders at it, and so put the above named 70 under discipline, than it cost him to win the 80 affîtîtîbns to the church.

The work of the State Evangelist this year has reached eighteen counties: KentoD, Pendleton,Scott, Franklin, Fleming, Louis, Rowan, Carter, Boyd, Morgan, Menifee, Fayette, Clark, Garrard, Madison, Whitley, Laurel, and Adair.

These duties are called unusual because they really are unusual, for it is well known that most of our rnissioridfy work, so called for thirty or forty years, al most entirely failed to reach these underlying difficulties in the suffer ing churphes where the real trouble is found. In all nine evangelists were en gaged in the work. The total number of days devoted to the work was 1281 ; sermons preached 1384; visits 1408; baptisms 456; other add it inns 3 put --under discipline 213; churches assisted 129; preachers located 25; officers ordained 75 ; raised for home use in the churches visited $15,640; for State work $920. their places, and for this we are not sorry. A better- gospel is being proclaimed to the wot Id. For this we thank the Lord. Our esteemed brethren, Butler & Lowber, move to Louisville. We congratulate them on the ar» way in which they push the Apos tolic Church. We offer the Church and H erald for two dollars. This offer will not remain open long. Remember that the Church is the largest 32-page monthly published by our brethren. We heartily endorse the follow ing from the Standard", “ But while they labor to extend the cir culation of the Standard, we hope they will never loosewtheopportunF t.y to benefit any other good paper that is serving the same good cause. ’-Let the-^ruggte-'-W-^ir-trn-" list every disciple for the better ment -of our press, and not to weaken it anywhere.” To this we say Amen. There is plenty of room for all. With annual addition of about 60,000 our papers have ample room for extending their cir culation. Let all jealousies be laid aside, and we have much work be fore us.
