Money Lost.

By James White

In the REVIEW AND HERALD of September 26, 1871, we gave the following statement:—
“Inclose the small sums, which are the yearly subscription prices of our periodicals, securely enveloped, with a plain statement of your wishes how the money should be applied, always giving your name, the name of your post-office, and the name of the State, kingdom, or province in which you live, and then, after addressing your letters, REVIEW & HERALD, Battle Creek, Mich., and paying the postage commit them to the mails, and then, if any of these small sums should be lost, which is very seldom the case, the Publishing Association will sustain the loss, provided that in no case the sum in any one letter exceeds Two Dollars.
“Larger sums may be sent in several letters, two dollars in each, at different times, or in money Orders, or Drafts on the Banks. Those who send in bank notes, in sums of more than two dollars in any one letter, will do it at their own risk. We have never recommended registering letters, neither do we. The cost of Drafts and Money Orders may be deducted from the amount to be paid at the Office.”
Since the above appeared, brethren in the different parts of the country have sent quite large sums to this Office in bank notes, about $50 of which have been lost. And now some complain of us because we think the S. D. A. Pub. Association should not lose it. We have nothing to urge in this matter. We would simply say to our patrons that those who are faithfully doing their duty at this Office are your servants. You should have as much interest in this matter as we do. If you send considerable sums in bank notes, and it is lost, the Association loses just so much. Your action in this matter will not make one hair white or black with us. We shall contend with no one. We are at work for the Master, industriously and economically, and invite all others to act in the great cause in the fear of God.
JAMES WHITE, Pres. S. D. A. P. A.
