"Alastob" having been compelled to withdravr from the H.mn.ial management of Secdlah Tho«oht, the entire expense of it» p.o- dnetion once more devolves upon me. Unfortunately. I have not the means to enable me to meet such pecuniary requirements havmg already exhausted the resources I had in endeavouring for the last three years to establish the paper. , .,» . u. ^ „».„ To allow the journal to die would, it is admitted, be a great »lamity to the Secular Cause in Canada, the more so as it, circuW tion hJsteadily incased from the first week o its ex.s^-fj;"' is now rapidly approaching a,. int which would make it self-sup- porting. The friLs of the paper ar^ therefore, urgently appealed ^ for what pecuniary aid they can afford to render to secure for it ^permanent' existence. If this appeal is responded *» there wil be ^o danger of a collapse ; but unless some help is forthcoming I fear that I Lu be compelled to give up the struggle of -inWmng a Secular journal in Canada. Having implicit faith that with the aid here soUcited the paper will be a success, I will willingly continue to give my editorial services, but more than that I cannot da Kis proposed that in each place where there are any Freethinkej a monthly subscription shall be opened, and that all who can shaU Te 25c. or upwanis (according to their means) on the first of eve^ minth or, atlast, one year ; and that a friend in each town should Tdertake to solicit the subscriptions from those willing to contri- but and forward the same to the ofiice o£ Seoulab Thovoht Evty subscriber to the Fund for one year can have the paper sen Tor that time to any one he prefers who do,s not at present take r By h« Pl- «'« «-"'''«°" °f ^■=™"'' ''^""'"Z T be considerably increased. Friends preferring to give a donation in one sum can forward it direct to me. Knowing the importance of this matter, and feeling assured that if the a.
