SYSTEMATIC BENEVOLENCE.
By James White
THE Battle Creek church assembled Jan. 16th, in the evening, to consider the subject of a System of Benevolence which would induce all to do something to sustain the cause of present truth, and thereby fully sustain the cause, and at the same time relieve some who have given beyond their real ability. Brn. Andrews and Frisbie were present, and spoke upon the subject. Others also freely expressed their views; all seemed deeply interested in the subject. Brn. Andrews, Frisbie and White were chosen to prepare an address on Systematic Benevolence, founded upon the declarations of holy Scripture. Jan. 29th, after the hours of the holy Sabbath were passed, the church assembled, when the address was read before the church, and adopted by a unanimous vote. Also voted that the address be published in the REVIEW AND HERALD. Bro. J. P. Kellogg was then chosen collector and treasurer for the Battle Creek church, and Eld. James White was chosen corresponding secretary to correspond with the brethren scattered abroad who may wish to address him upon the subject of Systematic Benevolence. J. W.
