Review and Herald Publishing Association

By W. W. Walters; W. B. Walters

An adjourned meeting of the Review and Herald Publishing Association was held in the large tent at Takoma Park, Friday morning, May 26, at eight o'clock. The following recommendations were submitted by the committee on plans:—

That the Battle Creek property be at once placed upon the market; that the real estate east of Washington Street, the house and lot facing Main Street west of Washington Street, and the farm be sold as quickly as can be done advantageously; and,—

That the building and machinery west of Washington Street be offered for sale as a going concern, reserving the name Review and Herald Publishing Company.

That we instruct the trustees to pay a tithe of the net earnings of the association for the past year to the General Conference.

That we ask the General Conference to devise a plan for the raising of fifteen thousand dollars to assist in the erection of suitable buildings for the Review and Herald Publishing Association at Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.

In explanation of the call for assistance in erecting the buildings, it was stated that it had been found difficult to realize any considerable amount of cash from the assets of the old Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association of Battle Creek, and it was possible that it might require some time to do so. It was further stated that the removal of the printing plant from Battle Creek to Washington was a leading feature of the general move, and that many of the people in the field had supposed that a portion of the One Hundred Thousand Dollar Fund would be appropriated for the benefit of the Review and Herald Publishing Association. It was stated that it was for the interest of the work that a suitable printing plant be erected without delay, and it was felt that the people would willingly assist in this enterprise.

After a full discussion of the recommendations, they were adopted.

The meeting then adjourned until Monday, May 29, at 5:30 P. M.

W. W. WALTERS, Chairman. W. B. WALTERS, Secretary.
