Pacific Publishing Association.
By James White
THIS young institution must be nourished now. The Battle Creek Association is very strong and above want. But few of our people have taken stock in it. There is a host of the friends of the cause, especially those who have joined the ranks the past five or ten years, who have not yet taken stock in either Association. These whoever they may be, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, are urgently invited to take stock in the young Association at Oakland, Cal., in a liberal manner. Bro. Edward Lobdell of Portland Maine, hits the spot exactly in the following, as expressed by a recent letter from Eld. Goodrich of Maine :— “Bro. White :—Bro. Edward Lobdell of Portland, Maine, wishes to take three shares in the Pacific Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association, for which I enclose $34.50.” Bro. Lobdell is one of the old hands, and has stock in all our institutions, yet he reaches out a long helping hand from the Atlantic way over to the Pacific to help just when help is needed. Now when the sun shall set, especially at the commencement of the holy Sabbath, Bro. Lobdell, as he follows the orb of day down, can enjoy the happy reflection that he has stock in the young institution across the continent. We suggest that all our good brethren, old and new, who are able so to do, put themselves in a position to enjoy the same happy reflection with Bro. L. which they can do by sending to this office all the way from one to one hundred dollars for the Pacific Publishing Association. At all our camp-meetings we shall make a big strike for a wider circulation of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, and stock in the Pacific Publishing Association. But those who have the cash on hand should not wait until camp-meeting, these can foward at once to Review and Herald, Battle Creek, Mich.
