The Union Report—Distribution and Sale, &c.

The Eighth Annual Report (1882-83) of the Union was distributed throughout the Connexion during the week October 5th to 12th, in accordance with the scale laid down in the circular issued in March, 1833. It is now kept on sale as one of the Union Publications. (See page 3.)

Officers, Committees and Teachers, Ministers, Societies and Congregations are supplied in this Report with the information necessary for intelligent oversight and vigorous co-operation in Sunday School work. In addition to Connexional, District, Town and Circuit Union Reports there is given the statistics of all the 6,548 Sunday Schools under the British Conference, as presented to the last March Quarterly Meetings, arranged and summarised under their Circuits and Districts; also, the date of every Grant Order made by the Connexional Union since it was formed, and the "Annual" amount, the year "paid up to" and the amount paid since last Report" of "Subscriptions to the Union."

The Committee trust that this effort to serve Sunday Schools will be appreciated, and that it will lead to an increase in the number of Connected Schools and the amount of Subscriptions; also to the payment of Subscriptions, including all arrears, early in the year.

Terms of Admission to the Union.

Admission to the advantages of the Union is by Annual Subscription of at least the following amounts:-
FOR SUNDAY SCHOOLS IN ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND.

Separate Schools-Five Shillings. Circuit Unions-Four Shillings per School.

Entrance Fee-A Guinea. Annual Subscription-Seven Shillings and Sixpence.
FOR INDIVIDUAL SUBSCRIBERS.

Half-a-Guinea-which entitles to use the Reading Room and Reference Library, to purchase at School Discounts, and to a free copy of the Sunday School Magazine.

Any Officer, Teacher or Senior Scholar of a Connected School, whose name is sent in by the Correspondent of his School, will be supplied with a separate Ticket, on payment of One Shilling per Annum.

Payment of Subscriptions and Accounts.

Subscriptions are accounted DUE ON THE IST OF JANUARY, IN EACH YEAR; and their payment early in the year, and without direct solicitation, saves expense in clerical work, postage, &c.

The prompt discharge of Accounts, bringing sales as nearly as possible to cash transactions, is another way of helping the Union, and the Officers and Committee appeal to their customers generally for kind consideration in this and other respects.

Money Orders (General Post Office) and Cheques should be crossed "CITY BANK."
