Payment for the Michigan Tent

LAST spring Bro. White advanced the money for a new sixty-feet tent for use in the State of Michigan. The tent was purchased at a very reasonable price, and has proved, on trial, to be a good tent. It was decided at the Owosso Camp-meeting to purchase this tent. The brethren assembled at Owosso were calculated to constitute one-half of the S. D. Adventists of the State of Michigan, and they therefore pledged one-half of the price of the tent, leaving the other half to be raised at the Ceresco meeting. The brethren at the C. camp-meeting ratified this arrangement, and promptly raised their part of the money. But with our brethren of Northern Michigan there has been a failure. They made pledges to be met at a definite point, now past, and though reminded through the REVIEW, have failed to respond. This ought not to be thus. Bro. White asks not one cent for the use of the money advanced. He only asks that the first cost of the tent be paid. He is at this time in urgent need of the means. Our brethren in Europe are in very pressing want of assistance. Bro. White wishes this very means to use for this important purpose. We state this matter to you, brethren, in the confident expectation that you will now promptly respond to the pledges you have made. Send your means to this Office, and they will be credited through the REVIEW.
