Wanted.

By John Norton Loughborough

WE want sent immediately to this Office from our friends five thousand dollars. 1. To start our Institute as we have, has required quite an amount of means, and even other things for the convenience of patients should be secured this fall. 2. Building our meeting-house is another draft on means. 3. The proposed enlargement of the Review calls for additional means for stock and extra work. 4. We soon expect to purchase stock for Thoughts on Revelation, and other works which must be issued. The means to accomplish these ends is in the hands of our brethren and can be furnished, and will be when known it is needed.

How shall it be raised? First, let those who have made pledges to the Institute to be paid this fall make exertions to pay their pledges immediately. Those who have pledged to pay Dec. 1, would confer a favor if they could get the means and send in now. Some who have made pledges to pay this fall can just as well double their pledges and pay up both pledges. Let those do so. The Institution is further along now than we supposed it would be by Dec. 1; seventeen patients in it, five of whom have come the past week. If by the extra efforts of those managing this Institution, it has been made to exceed in its prosperity thus far even their highest expectations, will not our brethren on their part manifest a corresponding exertion in furnishing the means that are pledged that the Institution may be free from embarrassment. Let those who have 10's and 20's, or smaller sums that they could just as well donate to the Publishing Association, do so. Those even who have paid ahead on the Review and have means, could help in this matter by advancing one or two years on their subscription.

Let all who can, pay the $3,00 rates, and the 50 cents on the Instructor. Some may esteem it a privilege to donate to the Review Fund that the paper may go to many poor free, and to new beginners at reduced rates. Some may have means that they would let the Association have the use of a few months without interest, if so, send it in. To all of you, brethren and sisters, who may read these lines we would say, Prayerfully consider your duty, and we have no fears but you will do it.

In behalf of the Trustees of the S. D. A. P. Association. J. N. LOUGHBOROUGH.
