* Wit 1935-7: ** "Gospel Literature Fund: Started and carried on for the express purpose of helping aged men, widows, workers with limited incomes, earnest young converts, and others with Free Grants of Tracts to distribute in needy districts, country places, hospitals and fairs. A mistaken idea seems to have got abroad that anyone who applies has a right to a parcel. Please note the twofold conditions for consideration: (1) details of kind of work in which applicant is engaged, with note of helpers and church connection; (2) names and addresses of two accredited Elders or well-known Christian workers to whom inquiries can be made. Apart from these, applications are not considered. With Unemployment so rife and the money stringency we have more honest certified distributers, who cannot afford to buy, than we can help, and will value the fellowship of the Lord’s stewards, shut-ins with a heart for the masses, Assemblies, Bible Bands, etc. This Fund is specially in need of replenishing to-day. Kindly pray for the distributers and help if you can. Received'. C. & E.R., £1 ; For His Sake, Gt.- Harwood. £2; A.D.. Bangor. 10/; M.C. (Notes), £10; K.V., Redland,£1 ; H.H., Hartest, £2; B.K.. Co. Antrim, 10d.; E.S., Wickham, 1/9; '''Anon., Rochester, 10/'''; F.R., Toronto, 3/6; M.S., 5/; Rev. T.P.L. New Jersey, 1'6; Miss M.B., Lockerbie, 7d."** "Hospital Book Fund: For providing copies of the Gospel stories known as The Lily,” copies of the Special Hospital Booklet, entitled “Cheering Words, and other stories, for handing to patients in Hospitals, Infirmaries, the Aged in Almshouses and Unions, and other places, that we feel we must afford our readers an opportunity of thus helping their poor, sick, and less fortunate fellows in something they will read and profit by reading. Now that this Fund has become known patients in hospitals in Britain, Canada. Australia, and other parts are clamouring for something to read, far beyond our ability to supply. This fund is much overdrawn, and pleading notes for help continue to come in. Remember your less fortunate fellows laid aside, with time, and nothing to read. Received with thanks: C. & E.R., £1; R.H., Princes Risborough, 5/; K.V., Redland. £1; H.H., Hartest, £1; '''Anon., Rochester, 10/''', 10/; F.R., Toronto, 3/6; E.C., Babbacombe, £1."
