as well as print and bind, and h>*lp circu-

 tracts. 



It ia too much, however, to expect a 

 mission press to pay for itself. For it 

 should be remembered that much of its 

 literature is being prepared for people who 

 are not eager to pay for books that hold 

 teaching with which they are unfamiliar. 

 Tbere is only a small Christian clientage, — 

 all the rest of the community is non-Chris- 

 tiau. Aud under such circumstances, that 

 the Mission should have been able to create 

 a press now worth perhaps $40,000 with 

 less than $5,000 received in all, as gitts 

 towards it, rerlects no small credit upon the 

 abiltty and business sense of the mission- 

 aries in charge. The Press needs a build- 

 ing of its own. And for $25,000 or $30,000 

 it could be so housed and cquipped as to 

 makc it casily self-supporting and extraor- 

 dinarily useful.
