THE

HE HISTORY of "The Daily News'
is part of the history of modern
England. Since its foundation by Charles
Dickens, in 1846, "The Daily News" has
consistently fought for the Liberty of the
People, for Social Progress, and for all that
makes life worth living. To-day, in 1908,
it is as determined an advocate of the great
Progressive Causes as it was over half-a-
century ago.

Its opinions are recognised-even by
those who do not agree with them-as
honest opinions.

The Daily News

does not forget its great traditions. It does

not invent sensations, but when an event of

real importance actually occurs "The Daily

News" record of that event will be found

at once accurate and readable.

"The Daily News" not only reports the

news: it illustrates the news. Its daily pic-

tures of the world's events are thoroughly

representative, and it is far better equipped

mechanically than any other general daily

paper for the successful printing of these

pictures.

OVER

ONE MILLION INCREASE

PER ANNUM.

There could be no better testimonial as to the value of

the FREE CHURCHMAN for localising than the fact

that in the period of the past four years its annual

circulation has increased by over One Million copies.

A localiser writes: "Last year with other insets our

circulation was 300 per month. This year we adopted

the Free Churchman and our circulation has been 1,000

per month." A magazine increases its circulation by

using the

FREE CHURCHMAN

The reason for the phenomenal increase in the circula-

tion is not far to seek. Localisers say that it is the

BEST magazine for localising. We do not ask you to

accept their word for it. We simply ask you to make

comparison. Compare the programme for 1908 with

any other. All we ask you to do is to take the best.

We could print pages of testimonials, but the FREE

CHURCHMAN
