Tis earnestly requested that inquiries be made concerning Wills admitted to probate whether they contain bequests to this Society, and that information of all such bequests be communicated to the Treasurer without delay. In making bequests for missions It is of great importance to give the exact title of the Society, thus:

I give, devise, and bequeath to the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, for the use of the Society..

If it is desired that the bequest should be applied to some particular department of the work, there should be substituted for the words "FOR THE USE OF THE SOCIETY," the words "FOR DOMESTIC MISSIONS," or "FOR FOREIGN MISSIONS," or "FOR WORK AMONG THE INDIANS," or "FOR WORK AMONG COLORED PEOPLE," or "FOR WORK in AFRICA," or "FOR WORK IN CHINA," etc
