The Transfer of Stock in the S. D. A. Publishing Assn.
By Wm. Covert
THERE was sent to Wisconsin the list of three hundred and sixty-five shares of stock in the Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association, with the request that we get this stock signed over in the interest of the new corporation which is being organized at Washington, D. C. Our success has been better than was expected. We have been able to return three hundred and fifteen shares, fully transferred, out of the three hundred and sixty-five committed to our trust. Quite a large per cent of this stock was in the name of persons who are now deceased. As far as we can ascertain, all this stock held by living persons has been signed over. These shareholders were found to be in various States, and it has required no small amount of correspondence to trace them and secure their certificates. Up to date, we have returned all but five shares which have been located. If the sister whose name was on this certificate was living, it would doubtless have been signed over, too. It is encouraging to know that the loyalty of our people to the Lord's cause is such that the business connected with these financial interests can be transacted in a Christian way.
