Cal. Tent Fund.

By John Norton Loughborough

PLEDGES were made to the tent fund at our last camp-meeting, amounting to over $1600. The sums pledged were all to be paid by Oct. 1, 1875. About one-half this sum has already been paid. But it will be remembered that out of the means raised there was $700 to be used in paying money borrowed to purchase the new tent; $184, for the splicing to the two tents; and $45.00, for three camping tents, remaining on hand at the close of the camp-meeting. Some $60.00 received for old camp materials, was also put into the tent fund. All that has been paid in has been applied on the old debt. Fifty dollars more are requisite before we can say that the old debt is cancelled.

We are beginning to make arrangements, and shall soon commence purchases, for the camp-meeting. In order to be rightly prepared for the meeting, quite a portion of the tent funds should be paid in immediately. We shall soon send out lists of unpaid pledges to the business agent in each of the churches that they may collect from those who are ready to pay their pledges. We give this notice that all, as far as practicable, may be ready to meet these collectors of funds.
