264 RECORD AND JOURNAL. 



fore the Alumni of the Semniary, by Rev. Samuel Sprecher, A. M., of 

 Chambersburg, Pa. 



To Suhscrihers. — One number more will complete the second vol- 

 ume of the Record and Journal. We have during the past year, accor- 

 ding to the best of our ability, endeavored to render it in every way 

 worthy the patronage of our subscribers, and fully an equivalent for their 

 subscription money, and we had hoped that they would, almost to a man, 

 long ere this have forwarded to us that small sum ($1,00.) Quite a num- 

 ber have, however, we regret to state, neglected to do so, perhaps tlirough 

 forgelfulness; and some even owe us yet for the first volume, perhaps 

 under the mistaken idea that it was sent them gratuitously. 



In reference to the latter, if there be any, we would merely icraark 

 that the Association, being without funds, cannot do so without pecuni- 

 ary loss ; and in reference to all, that not only would we be very much 

 gratified of immediate payment of all dues were made us, but also 

 that nothing more than a simple act of justice would be done. We 

 should then be able to meet our liabilities ; otherwise we shall not, and 

 •we cannot believe that a generous public can permit an Association of 

 voung men, organized and laboring for such praiseworthy objects, crip- 

 pled in their means, burdened with debt, and the continuation of this 

 Journal thus endangered. 



Bills will be sent by this number, to those who have not yet paid us; 

 and those, who shall not promptly respond to this call, will be waited on 

 soon by some of the active members or other friends of the Association, 

 as we must have money to pay the printer. 



We earnestly request those, who are friendly to the objects of this 

 Association and desire it to prosper, to aid us in enlarging our subscrip- 

 tion list with the names of relial)lc men. If, in addition to a reasonable 

 number from the community at large, we had as subscribers all the Al- 

 umni and others who have preceded us as students of Pennsylvania Col- 

 lege, we should be able, without increasing the cost, to enlarge the Jour- 

 nal and thus monthly furnish our readers with a greater amount and va- 

 riety of matter. Let the eflbrt be made. 



To Correspondents. — We are sorry that the request of D. K. of L., 

 came too late to enable us to make the cliange he desired. All com- 

 munications should be in our possession by the middle, or at furthest 

 the 20lh of diemontli, if they are to appear in the next No. of the Journal. 



The part of the Journal coiilaining his communication had already 

 left the press at the date of his last.
