THE FRENCH TRACT FUND.

By D. T. Bourdeau

It will be cheering to the readers of the REVIEW who are interested in the prosperity of the cause among the French, to learn, as reported in this week's paper, that the French tract fund has received further support. But it should be borne in mind that according to a business statement, which I have just sent out to different persons, including the president of the Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association, the editors of the REVIEW, and the secretary of the General Conference, the receipts have only met the expenses at this end of the line.

While I am glad to be able to say that my accounts are balanced, I can not refrain from wishing that our beloved central house of publication could report that, in this case, receipts equal expenses, nor from extending a hearty invitation to all who are interested in the prosperity of the French tract work to further contribute in favor of the French tract fund. If this is cheerfully done, the noble work for which that fund was started, and which has already been crowned with encouraging results, may not be hindered, but may be carried on so vigorously and so successfully that our most sanguine expectations with regard to it may be more than met.
