Hard Times.

By William C. White

We do not need to tell our friends that these are hard times, neither do we propose to explain the cause of the general depression in business and the closeness of money; but in a few words we will state what makes unusually hard times at the REVIEW Office. It is for our T. and M. officers and members to let books and premiums, or the money derived from the sale of them, lie idle in their hands, when the State Societies and the Offices of Publication are so much in need of it.

The various T. and M. Societies owe, at the REVIEW Office, over Twelve Thousand ($12,000) Dollars. This money is needed to carry on the publishing work, and we have sent strong appeals to the State T. and M. officers to remit payment in full at the April State quarterly meetings; but we are aware that they will be helpless unless each member pays his pledge, and each Librarian and District Secretary makes prompt and full returns at the time appointed.

W. C. WHITE, Vice Pres.
