TO ALL THE GERMANS

By P. T. Magan

We are now hard at work translating, type-setting, and making plates on the German “Christ’s Object Lessons.” There has been an urgent demand for this book from our German brethren. It will take considerable money to get the book out, but “where there’s a will, there is always a way.” One little church in Kansas subscribed two hundred dollars. The German brethren in Wisconsin are going to do all they can, and so are the brethren in Colorado. And now we appeal to all our German brethren everywhere who have not already helped in this matter, to help us get this book out. It will cost, for the translating, type-setting, and plate-making, two sets of plates being required, one for this country and one for Germany, at least one thousand dollars. Send in gifts and pledges to the treasurer of the General Conference. Mark these gifts, “For the RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS—German;” then we will know that your money is to get out the book in German.

Brethren, we are paying off the debts, little by little; but just as surely and steadily as our march to the kingdom, we are doing it. February 12 the Battle Creek College paid the Review and Herald over thirty-two hundred dollars on what the college is owing the Review and Herald. This was the payment for December and January. Besides this, Battle Creek College paid over one thousand dollars to other parties, making over forty-two hundred dollars for these two months. Union College is also making payments on its debts.

Now we want a multitude of German voices in the chorus of the jubilee song of freedom, which we are all going to sing so soon. Come on, brethren, let us keep it up until we get done with debt, and let us get done soon. Let us work and pray with all our might till the last debt is swept into the bottom of the sea. Be of good cheer. The book will be ready by the middle of April or by the first of May. P. T. Magan.
