AID COMING IN

By S. H. Lane

As has been reported through the REVIEW, the material, or big fund, which is being raised for the aid of the schools, is to go to purchase material for “Christ’s Object Lessons.” We are glad to report that what is being paid in on the material fund is aiding wonderfully. As was stated in the REVIEW AND HERALD last week, we have printed eighty thousand copies, and the Pacific Press has printed twenty thousand; making one hundred thousand in all.
The committee into whose charge the book was given has raised enough money to pay for the setting of the type; the making of several sets of plates, and the illustrations; and there has been paid, for paper, ink, and binding material, from the Relief of the Schools fund, nearly seven thousand dollars, with some money still in the treasury. About seventy thousand books have been shipped from the offices, and are now in the hands of the people. A portion of these books has been sold, and fully fifteen thousand dollars has been paid on the various debts of our schools. And yet the work is only well begun. If every one will take hold and sell all the books possible, money will come in, and the burden of the debt will be lessened.
Some of our brethren are making a real success of it. One brother at the REVIEW AND HERALD Office has sold about two hundred copies. The steward at the sanitarium has sold about one hundred and fifty copies. One brother in Nebraska has sold one hundred and thirty. Some of our ministers are becoming active agents. Elder R. F. Andrews, of Illinois, had sold, at last report, nearly two hundred.
These brethren take the book wherever they go, and, having read it, recommend it to the people. And in the fear of God, fraught with earnestness, they have no trouble in selling it. We trust that what we have seen is only the beginning of what we shall see. Who will not enlist even now, and prosecute the work until the great school debt is swept away? S. H. LANE.
