THE BATTLE CREEK COLLEGE DEBT.
By P. T. Magan
We are glad to be able to report that substantial progress is being made upon the liquidation of the debt. About $7,000 has been paid off. The money necessary for this has been secured by donations from teachers, students, and friends of the College. This is a much larger sum than has been paid off in many a long year, and we verily believe that it marks the beginning of the end. It was my privilege during the month of February to visit a number of our churches in the State of Illinois, and to present to them the cause of the College. The subject is one which is near to the hearts of the people, and there was a hearty response. One good sister gave $1,000; one brother gave over $200. Another young brother made a gift to the College of a valuable city lot. There were also a goodly number of smaller cash donations and pledges. On Sabbath, March 17, a special season of prayer for the College work was held in all the churches of Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Illinois, and a collection was taken up to assist its financial situation. The majority of the cash donations made at this time are appended below. Other cash donations received will be acknowledged in the next number, together with a large number of pledges. D. W.
