The Dime Tabernacle.

By James White

We are glad to see by the REVIEW AND HERALD that our people in different and distant parts of the country are donating for the Dime Tabernacle. One dime a month for one year amounts to only the small sum of one dollar and twenty cents, a sum that all can donate unless they are so very poor as to be dependent on others. We shall not object to larger sums from those who are able to give them, and choose to make a larger free-will offering. And as means are wanted immediately, we recommend that the subject of the Dime Tabernacle to be erected at Battle Creek, be brought before the remaining camp-meetings for the season, and that all the brethren and sisters be invited to give one dollar and twenty cents to be immediately forwarded to the REVIEW AND HERALD, Battle Creek, Michigan.

The greatest care should be taken in making these collections to take the names and addresses of the donors in plain handwriting, as these, with the amount donated, are to be given in a pamphlet in connection with the history of the enterprise from the commencement to the close of it. Larger donations will not be refused, although we are satisfied that the strength of the enterprise depends very much upon the united efforts of all, by a systematic effort in raising a dime a month. As the surplus funds, should more be raised than is needed, are to be put into the treasury of the European Mission, our more wealthy brethren and friends will desire to donate all the way from one dollar and twenty cents up to one hundred dollars.
