Expenses of Moving the Office.
By James White
IN No. 5 we stated that "the Brethren in Michigan cheerfully take upon themselves the responsibilities of the REVIEW Office. They will probably move it to that State this Fall." We regret that some received the impression from that statement that the Brethren in this State would bear the expenses of moving the Office, and fitting it up for business here. We did not intend to give such an idea, and do not see why they should bear this expense alone. The Office is the property of the Church. We called on the Church to take off from us the responsibilities of the Office. Brn. in Vt. offered to move the Office to that State, about the time the offer came from Michigan, yet it was the opinion of leading brethren in Vt. that the Press should go West. All were willing it should go West. And it should be understood, that no person had suggested difficulties, or their unwillingness, in regard to the Press going West, up to the time that arrangements were all made, and the Office building was erected. If the Brethren in New York, or any other State, had desired the Office to remain in Rochester, they should have regarded our repeated calls to the Church, for the last six months, and taken steps in season to free us from a burden that was fast crushing us to the grave. The ever faithful friends of the cause in Michigan have come forward in a time of need. The Office building is erected expressly for the REVIEW Office. They have chosen a Publishing Committee who will manage the financial matters of the Office for the Church, free of charge. And now they most certainly have reason to expect the prompt and hearty co-operation of the Brn. East and West. J. W.
