The i9î9 issue is an exceptionally bîand- sume and inturesting number. The fine engravings used to illustrate the specialis' seasonable articles, add very matunially 10 the attractiveness and value ot the magazine. The advertisements are models' of hu typographie Art and the pages are well gotten up and maku the number more attractive and of course ef greater commercial value lu the publish- ers. Evury Canadien farmer should bu a regu ler reader of " lhe Advocate". Club- bed with THE STATESMAN for $3,00 pur year. We have -received a copy of that fine publication "«Made-in- Hamilton" Quarter- lv" issued undur the managing editorshîp of Mr. Charles R. McCullougb, a well- known Bowmenville boy wbo bas long been an outstanding figure in the butter citizenship of Hamilton. The Quarterly is publisbed as a boomer for the IlAmblîjous C ity" and is a splendid pro- duct of the typographical art of that great industrieli berg claimud to bu "the manufactoring centre of Canada".

CHURCH F114ANCING Tbe larger chorches, are nearly al having difficulty in making ends meut 'financially. The trouble, espucielly in city' and town churches wh ch are large and tbe upkeup and sal aries are elso large is that the members and adberents are giving the came amount of Sonidas' offer- ings and other contributions thet îhey gave in pre-war limes, wbiie the expeuses of ruuning the eburch have enormously iucreased.

Lest vear's coal supply lu Ibis cburcb cost $552,30 and Ibis year's will bu mueb igLer. The upkeup and other uxpenses of Ibis cburch lest year cost areund $7,50O and tLe Boards bave pnactised evers' econumy consistent witb efficiency lu conducting tLe business, and thunu is no ikelibood ini evidence thal churcb expenditures are going 10 bu any less for corne yearc, et leest, se thet il le up t0 members and adberents of ahi churches tu iruase tîteir contributions.
