To the Church.

By Editor

DEAR BRETHREN:—We have stated to you through the Review, that the expenses of moving the Office, &c., including what we pay Bro. White for Printing Material, (for which he run in debt in placing it in the Office,) amount to $603.64. Of this sum $138.25, only, has been donated, leaving $465,39, to be raised by the Church.
This sum should have been raised before this time. Bro. White needs what is coming to him now, to help pay his debts; and those who have advanced means to establish the Press at Battle Creek, cannot well do without it much longer.
Those connected with the Office have taken hold of the work with fresh zeal and courage to make the Review interesting and useful, and to send it forth to the scattered flock weekly. Shall they be disheartened and saddened by a lack of interest on the part of the Church? And will the cause suffer for want of a few hundred dollars? God forbid. We trust that there will be a corresponding interest on the part of the Church at large, and that the work will move forward, and each act his part joyfully. Brethren, let your cheerful, free-will offerings come right along, and let this debt no longer linger upon the hands of the Church.
We wish here to say to those subscribers who have not complied with the terms of the Review, that they will find the amount of their indebtedness up to the close of Vol. VII, marked on the margin of this week's paper. Since the Review has been published at Battle Creek, Bro. White has paid us over $70, which he had received on the Review above cost. This has been expended, with the small sums receipted in each paper, and the Review is in arrears about $125. We depend on what is due from those who find their indebtedness marked on the margin of their paper to meet the expenses on the remaining Nos. of Vol. VII, and hope there will be promptness on the part of the brethren who receive this gentle hint, that the Review be not embarrassed.
