Our School Pledges.

By George Ide Butler

We desire to call the attention of those who have not yet paid their pledges made for the year 1873, to the importance of doing so at once. But little more than half of those pledges have yet been paid. Nearly three months have passed since they were due. We have purchased a site for the school-house soon to be erected, and are obliged to pay interest on quite a portion of the price. We wish to erect our building the coming season, and should be purchasing material at once. We want all our friends to know that we need this money which is now due. Indeed, could our friends without loss to themselves pay a portion of that subscribed for 1874 it would be very acceptable, though of course we do not urge them to pay it till it is due. But that which is due should be paid. We know our friends will not wish to hinder the erection of the building this year by a neglect to pay their pledges. Therefore send them in at once. Let our Tract Societies look after this matter. They generally have copies of the pledge papers. If they have not, let them send to the REVIEW Office and obtain them.
