How Is It?

By Dudley Marvin Canright

In the last few months we have re-organized S. B. in about fifty churches in Michigan. All these churches have promised, not only to pay, but to pay the first-fruits, to lay apart a tenth of everything they receive as fast as they receive it. All this was to be paid to the treasurer quarterly. The first quarter is now due. On the first day of April, every treasurer in Michigan should make a report to the State Secretary, and forward all money received to the State Treasurer.

Dear brethren and sisters, I write this to call your attention to your duty in this matter. I hope that none of you will fail in your duty. And to our brethren who have made their sacred pledges, I would say in the language of Paul, “And herein I give my advice; for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago. Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.” 2 Cor. 8:10, 11. D. M. CANRIGHT.

P. S. The State Secretary is S. Brownsberger, Battle Creek, Mich., and the State Treasurer is Mrs. F. H. Sisley, Battle Creek, Mich. D. M. C.
