The friends of the James White Home and the Haskell Home must know that the funds for the maintenance of these most worthy institutions are supplied from the semiannual collections from the Sabbath-schools and churches, and that these are inadequate for their proper support, and run short each year. Just now an extra expense is incurred in rebuilding the power house, at the Haskell Home, which was burned early last spring.
The collections for October last are meager, and are coming in very slowly. Will the State secretaries hasten to send their collections, and thus relieve the present emergency? Our bills must be paid. These unfortunates must not suffer. Send all funds to L. J. Steinel, Acting Treasurer, Haskell Home, Battle Creek, Mich.
