SPARE OUR TEACHERS

How can it be done? Not by withholding your letters from them. If any missionaries anywhere need words of appreciation and good cheer they are those who year after year sacrifice social life and religious privileges to mingle with the ignorant, uncultured—yes, and impure—that they may lift them up into the healthful ways of righteousness. Write to them, encourage them, but do not ask for a special letter for your next missionary meeting. Tell them not to write, that you have heard or can hear from them every month through their letters sent to the officers at New York and that you learn of the work through the A.M.A. magazine. Thank them for making this monthly missionary letter so full and interesting.

"But that monthly letter is a copied letter," some one answers, "and we wish our teacher to write to us, to us alone, and in her own hand." Yes, it is a copied letter in order that it may be sent to others who are interested in, and helping, the same work, and that the missionaries' time may be given to the work about them instead of being spent so largely in writing. But it is a fresh letter. It has the latest monthly news and was written for you, and if not in the same hand is as truly yours as a typewritten letter, which is the sort most of us receive and give in the high-work pressure of now-a-days.

We provide The American Missionary, furnish our printed leaflets freely, and will send the monthly missionary letters to all who desire to hear thus from their contributions—as we hope all do—thus giving the very best information that the field affords; but we most earnestly hope the missionaries may be allowed their time for their missionary duties pressing upon them. The Missionary is the word from your missionary. Read it, and if you do not like it, write us, and we will try again next month.
