PROMPT RESPONSE.

By James White

We have this day received a response from Bro. James Hackett to our appeal in behalf of the houses of worship at Oakland, California, and Battle Creek, Michigan, in the form of a ten-dollar greenback, five dollars for each house. Now what is wanted is that one thousand and six hundred persons follow the example set for them by Bro. Hackett, and the sum of $16,000 will be raised, $8,000 for each church, and the debts will be lifted.

We do not expect that all will be able to give ten dollars each; but while many will give less, from ten cents upward, not a few will give much more, even one hundred dollars each to both houses. The money will be raised, and the sooner the better. Let all our people respond promptly. Bro. Hackett says:—

“BRO. AND SR. WHITE: I have seen your appeal in REVIEW Supplement, and I feel it my privilege to contribute from my scanty earnings five dollars each to the house of worship in Oakland and the Tabernacle in Battle Creek, or otherwise, as in your judgment it will best serve the cause.

“Yours truly in hope of life,

“JAMES HACKETT.”

Address, Elder James White, Denison, Texas, Box P, unless it would be more convenient to send direct to Battle Creek and Oakland.
