Power Press.

By James White

This enterprise is going ahead. Sixteen hundred dollars are already pledged—nine hundred from Brn. in Michigan. About one thousand dollars more are wanted to obtain the Press, and put it in motion. The Press should be purchased by the first of June. Pledges should be sent in without delay.

Sums of one hundred dollars have been called for, because there are brethren and sisters who can give one hundred dollars each for this object without feeling the least lack or loss, and at the same time have means to help on other important enterprises. The Power Press enterprise should not in the least cripple other enterprises, such as sustaining Tent Meetings, and the circulation of our publications. Be assured, the Press will be obtained. And if this sum were left to day-laborers and poor mechanics to make up, it would come without delay in small sums. But the pockets of such should not be drained to obtain the Press, and they left unable to help poor preachers, &c. Let individuals and churches, who can raise one hundred dollars, and at the same time assist in other departments of the work, send in their pledges without delay. J. W.
