Pledge! Pledge!!

We the undersigned hereby agree to pay the sums set to our names for the purpose of raising a fund of $1000, to be used in the tract and missionary work, said sums to be paid on or before January 1, 1879.

Over $500 were pledged at our camp-meeting by the few there, some of them pledging as high as $50. We know that there are a great many brethren in Kansas who are willing and able, and who would think it a pleasure to help make up the amount called for, so that the T. and M. work may not be hindered. In order to give all an opportunity to help in this glorious work of spreading the truth, we hope the elders of the different churches, at their earliest convenience, will see that each member has an opportunity to put his name to this pledge, and then send the pledges to A. J. Stover, Oswego, Labette county, Kansas, where the money is to be sent as he is treasurer of the Kansas T. and M. Society.

We would say to the scattered brethren, We do not wish to slight you; send your pledges along, and show how much you appreciate the blessings God gives you. We expect to advance along the whole line this fall. Our army is ready, and we only wait for the means. How long shall we remain in camp?
