DON'T FORGET IT.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

I WANT to call the attention of our brethren and sisters in Northern Michigan to the solemn pledges which they have all made concerning their Systematic Benevolence, for this year. Remember that you have promised to pay one-tenth of your income, and that this should be the first-fruits.
Nearly two months have already gone by. I want to ask you, brethren and sisters, if you have thus far kept your vows? Have you regularly laid apart something for your S. B. pledges as fast as you have received any money? I hope that you have done this, and I believe that many or most of you have. But fearing that some may be tempted by the devil to forget or neglect what they have promised, I write this to prompt you. Be careful how you commence wrong. Wherever I have been, the brethren all testify that when they pay their S. B. pledges promptly and out of the first-fruits, they not only pay them more easily, but are prospered better than when they keep them back.
The first quarter for 1876 will soon be up. We shall look with anxiety to the report of the treasurers for this quarter. The Lord says, “Vow and pay thy vows.” We have vowed well, let us do the other part and pay well. D. M. CANRIGHT.
