An Appeal in Behalf of Brn. Cottrell and Cornell.
THE Review for March 27th, contained an appeal from the brethren in Western New York in behalf of Bro. R. F. Cottrell. This appeal was considered and approved, during the session of the General Conference, just closed. Connected with this, the case of Bro. M. E. Cornell was also taken into consideration, and by vote of the Conference, the Executive Committee were directed to address the brethren in their behalf through the Review; a duty which we cheerfully perform. These brethren are not strangers to our people. They are well tried and efficient men, self-sacrificing, and devoted to the work. Each of them, at the present time, is much in need of help. Each of them is making an effort to secure a home, and we need not say to you that they are worthy of your assistance. But we will say that they are greatly in need of it. Brethren you have been instructed by the able writings of Bro. Cottrell, and by the earnest, effective preaching of Bro. Cornell. How many of you are willing to express your gratitude by some substantial testimony to these servants of Christ? Here is an opportunity for those who have means in their hands to invest it in such a manner that it shall be laid up in the bank of Heaven. We ask our brethren to take immediate action in view of the cases here set forth. The sum of $700, is needed by Bro. Cornell. Bro. Cottrell will be able to get along if $500 can be raised for him in addition to what has been already donated. The following is pledged on the $700 for Bro. Cornell: Jos. Bates, $10.00. J. N. Andrews, $10.00.
H. S. Lay, 5.00. Wm. Carpenter, 5.00.
L. D. Van Horn, 10.00. R. J. Lawrence, 5.00.
D. M. Canright, $5.00. H. Hilliard, $5.00. L. C. Hilliard $5.00.
L. M. Gates, 5.00. J. Berry, 5.00.
A. W. Smith, 20.00. E. H. Root, 5.00.
J. N. Andrews $10.00.
