Notice to Delinquent Subscribers in the Iowa and Nebraska Conference.

By Iowa Conference Committee

At the session of our Conference held June 1–5, 1871, we assumed the responsibility of collecting for the Publishing Association all arrears on subscription to the Review, Health Reformer, and Instructor, within the limits of our Conference.

We find on examining our subscription list that there is now due on our periodicals in Iowa and Nebraska almost one thousand dollars. We have decided that so far as our Conference is concerned, we will adopt the advance-pay system at an early day. And for the purpose of bringing this about, we request, 1. That all our friends who can (and we hope all will make an effort) pay arrearages and renew their subscription within thirty days from this date. 2. That those who cannot pay soon, will write to the State agent and say when they can pay. 3. That those who are not able to pay will write to the agent and state their circumstances.

We desire that all the worthy poor shall have our periodicals free; but we have no means of knowing who they are unless they write to us. If they do not consider our papers of enough value to write a few lines once a year, we shall be compelled to drop their names from our lists.

We have appointed Bro. Minos Miller, of Knoxville, Iowa, corresponding agent, and we hope that those who are behind will write to him at once. Unless you do, friends, we shall soon have to drop your names, and make an effort to collect what is now due. We have also appointed Bro. Benn Auten, traveling agent, who is authorized to take new subscriptions, and collect dues on all our periodicals.
