total of $12,000, and are issued in the denomination of $50 each, bearing interest at the rate of five per cent. (5 per cent.) per annum, bearing date of January 1, 1906, and payable semi-annually at the office of the Society in Kansas City, Mo. Those

desiring to invest their money, we here offer a perlectly safe and sure investment, backed by the property itself, which is even now receiving in rentals from the publishing company and meetings $720 a year, or 6 per cent. on $12,000.

These bonds may also be purchased on the installment plan, on payments of not less than $5.00, until they equal face value of bond, when same will be issued to such subscriber.

In case of over subscription, money will be refunded. We are confident of placing the entire bonds before January 1st, and probably within six weeks, so if you desire a perfectly safe investment which will pay you more interest than a bank, besides assisting in the upbuilding of the work of Practical Christianity, you should take one or more bonds of $50 each at once.

The Board reserves the privilege of redeeming any bonds at any semi-annual period.

To those who desire to contribute to the Building Fund by donation, a certificate of acknowledgement, signed by the President and Secretary, and bearing the corporate seal of the Society, will be issued for all sums of $10 or over. All sums under $10 will be acknowledged by receipt until the amount reaches $10, when certificate will be issued.

By order of the Board.

CHARLES EDGAR PRATHER,
DANIEL HOAGLAND.

All love-offerings for the Building Fund should be sent to Charles Edgar Prather, Manager, 913 Tracy Avenue, Kansas City, Mo., who will also give any further information concerning the bonds.
