The above will give the friends of the cause in the different States a clear idea of the delinquencies in the several States. Our friends in Michigan will be pleased to learn the condition of our list in their State. When we consider the fact that Michigan has been almost entirely destitute of efficient laborers for the past three years, we cannot but regard the fact that the average of indebtedness is only thirty-three cents to a subscriber—truly remarkable! It speaks well for the eleven hundred and eighty-eight subscribers from Michigan. Maine, Iowa, and some other States, that have had the labors of our most efficient ministers from the Michigan Conference, do not appear as well. But we hope that delinquents in all these States, as well as in Michigan, will simply, Pay up. Then they will appear, as far as the payment of honest debts is concerned, to all that advantage that their high profession of morality seems to demand.
