The Purchase of Tents.

By George I. Butler

As the time for tent operations draws near, the need of new tents to supply the place of those worn out begins to be felt, and additional ones will also be needed for those wanting to labor. When these wants exist, it is plainly the duty of the president of the State Conferences to see to this thing. They are supposed to know the wants of the cause in the State, and those who feel a need of such tents being provided should address him, and if appeals to the brethren to raise means are to be made through the REVIEW, they should come with the indorsement, and by the direction, of that officer. Those at the REVIEW Office cannot tell when to insert such calls in the REVIEW unless having the proper indorsement. The president of the Conference is the one chosen by the people to act in such matters. When he has consulted with his brethren on the committee, and makes calls by their orders, then the friends of the cause will be likely to respond. GEO. I. BUTLER.
