Co-operate, then, with the Presbyterian
Board. It may sound mercenary
to say that they want the patronage
of our entire Church—every member.
But they only ask it because much

We are conscious of the

is rendering to our Church and its

Baard of Publication occupies a somewhat
unique position in the business
world. In theory it bas a distinct constituency—the
Presbyterian Church—
and its business to a great extent is
limited by denominational lines. All
of tbe large denominations have their
publishing boards which, in theory,
enjoy similar privileges and suffer
Irom like restrictions. But it is only
in theory that each of these boards
is able to count on supplying the demands
of its own denomination, for
ttere are also undenominational agencies
which are seeking to supply mateiial
to every churcb.
While the Presbyterian Board crave
tbe support of our 'people, and rejoice
tbat so many are doing business with
them, it is always their effort to deserve

Every department of the Ghureb's
life requires tools to do its work efficiently.
The Presbyterian Board's
function is to supply these tools, from
the books the pastor must bave to
equip himself properly for his exacting
duties, to the story papers and
cards the little tots in the Beginners
departments carry to their homes as
messengers of light. It supplies the
pulpit by which the preacher stands,
and the tables and 'chairs the little

his Bible, his textbooks,
his catechism, etc., should be provided
by this board. To provide the best
