IS OUR S. B. READY?

By B. L. Whitney

As the time is near at hand when another quarter’s s. B. is due, we invite the attention of our brethren to this fact, and ask them personally to consider their responsibility in this matter.

If our s. B. is to be paid up promptly each quarter—and most of our brethren have pledged themselves to do this—it will require a personal effort on the part of each to accomplish it. There are special reasons why this should be done with us the present quarter, as it is a fact that the funds in our State treasury are nearly or quite used up, and still there is a constant demand for means to meet the expenses of the summer campaign. Will not all our brethren, and especially our s. B. treasurers, work together to the point of having every dollar of the s. B. due July 1 paid into the State treasury at the commencement of the quarter? We can accomplish this if all will work for it.

We ask the church treasurers to give each member of their churches a personal invitation to pay up what is due from him, if it is not paid without such invitation. We also request them to forward, without delay, to the State treasurer, Bro. Chas. E. Green, Sacketts Harbor, N. Y., what money they collect, as it is needed for immediate use.

Those of the scattered brethren who have made pledges, and are not situated so that it is convenient to pay them to any church treasurer, can send them directly to the State treasurer.

Every dollar pledged to the Conference will be needed for use during the present year, and we trust and believe that the brethren will remember this and act accordingly.
