This issue is much belated, our printers being unable to get the magazine out in time this month on account of sickness among the personnel. We regret this exceedingly but the circumstances were both unforeseen and unavoidable. All the Lord’s Day Lessons are included so as not to break the files. We hope to have the June issue out on time.
