We thought best to make a statement in the Review concerning the tent. There is yet about $50, behind and our word is pledged for the payment. It soon will be due, and our anxiety about the matter is increasing. Some have given encouragement that they would assist in paying for the tent, whom we have not yet heard from. Others have handed us from one to five dollars, and said they would wait and "see how we came out." The donations of late have been so small and far between that we begin to think that all are waiting to "see how we come out," and fear we shall "come out" minus the means to pay the debt.
We have no claims on the brethren. Our expenses have been nobly met from the commencement. We felt it duty to make this statement, that the Lord's stewards may know how we stand. Those wishing to assist in this matter can send their donations to us at Jackson, Mich.
