Due for Books.

By James White

There are due the Association for books more than three thousand dollars. And a large portion of this amount is in small sums. We decide to settle all these accounts as soon as possible, and then do a cash-in-hand business, at one-third discount on all our books, pamphlets, and tracts.

We are sending out bills of indebtedness, and shall be happy to correct mistakes, if they occur. We shall expect these accounts settled before the first of April. Those who have books on hand can return them to this Office at their own expense. Or, if they choose, retain them, and pay for them at one-third discount.

And here we would state that there are still due us about three hundred dollars for books we have trusted at camp-meetings. We paid for them at this Office from our own private purse, and look to those friends we accommodated for our pay.

We are resolved to do away with this miserable system of trust. Our plan is established, to sell to those who have money to pay, give from the book fund to the poor, and trust none. J. W.
