An Important Appeal

By George I. Butler

ST. HELENA, CAL., May 18, 1902.

It has been my privilege for a day or two, with Brother W. O. Palmer, to meet with Sister E. G. White and Brother W. C. White, and lay before them the wants of the cause in the great Southern field, and especially our young publishing association in Nashville, which is in such a needy condition.

To our great joy, we found that the following most important document was already written by the servant of God, which will set before our people the importance of the work in Nashville, and the great need of help from our brethren throughout the field. We are truly grateful to God for this encouragement.

I will only say, in conclusion, that any and all gifts or donations made in response to this most earnest appeal should be sent to the Southern Publishing Association, 1025 Jefferson St., Nashville, Tenn. At a recent meeting of the Southern Union Conference Executive Committee it was unanimously voted that all the funds of the Southern Union Conference be deposited in the publishing association. A fuller statement will soon appear in the REVIEW AND HERALD concerning the financial affairs of this conference.

GEO. I. BUTLER, President Southern Union Conf.
