Bills! Bills! Bills!

By James White

We send bills of indebtedness this week to all delinquent subscribers whose figures of account upon the pasters are less than 37-1. We make their bills out, however, to the close of the present volume. We earnestly invite all delinquents to pay up. Our terms are “in advance.” In accordance with our terms, every subscriber should have paid for the present volume, which is 37; so that the figures upon their pasters should be 38—, and the fraction, whatever that may be.

Friends, pay up. We hope ministers will take the present size of the REVIEW into consideration, and no longer ask it free. It will require pay from every subscriber to meet expenses. We have paid up to 47-1. It is a time when all true friends should show their zeal for the cause in liberal acts. In this respect, let us provoke one another to love and to good works.

Friends, pay up. Pay ahead. Pay clear through, if you please. We pity the poor and do all we can to assist the worthy poor. But we have no kind of fellowship with that drazeling slackness on the part of those who are able to pay ahead, but are content to let the figures on their paster tell them each week that they are not complying with the terms of the religious paper they read. Pay up. JAMES WHITE.
