An Appeal

By James White

TO THE TRUSTEES OF S. D. A. PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION.
Dear Brethren: There is at your Book Rooms a large amount of reading matter which should by some means go into the hands of the people. And there are certain States the most destitute of religious reading, where our publications would be received with eagerness, which at the same time are most destitute of money to purchase them. We might here mention Missouri, Kansas, and Minnesota. And it is an interesting fact that in these very States where the money pressure is hardest, God is blessing the labors of his servants in a remarkable manner.
Minnesota needs help. The Tract and Missionary Society of that State is heavily in debt to the S. D. A. Publishing Association. And yet that branch of the T. and M. work needs more publications for the fall and winter campaign. We suggest that you donate to that State $500 on account, and that you also donate in books and papers the sum of $500. There are back numbers of the REVIEW AND HERALD which we would recommend you to send out to destitute fields at the rate of $1.00 per hundred. And there are also back numbers of the Health Reformer which we will furnish to the T. and M. workers of these States at the rate of $2.00 per 100 copies. These back numbers can be circulated in these destitute States to great profit.
And we would recommend you to donate to the T. and M. Societies of Kansas and Missouri, in tracts and back numbers of the REVIEW and Reformer, the sum of $500 each. These small appropriations would help these States very much at this time, and would not be felt by our Association.
For want of time we have not yet taken up the Tract and Missionary work in the REVIEW as we designed. Hope to be able to speak freely and fully on that subject next week.
J. W.
On receiving the foregoing, the Board of Trustees of the S. D. A. Publishing Association met and took action according to the suggestions made. The three Conferences named can therefore draw at their pleasure reading matter from this Association to the amount of $500 each.
