Systematic Benevolence
By James White
We shall immediately prepare some blank books of ruled foolscap, with the names of the months, &c., printed at the top of the pages, with necessary perpendicular lines, for the use of those who act as collectors and treasurers for their brethren who act upon the plan of Systematic Benevolence. Price (post-paid) 15 cents. We would suggest to the brethren the real necessity of enrolling their names in a book, stating the weekly sums, and acting promptly, that this system with its glorious object may be kept a living thing before the church of God. There may be some small farmers in this time of scarcity of money, who cannot raise a small sum of cash weekly or monthly. Let such put down the weekly sums with their brethren, and pay the whole amount in cash, or produce, when they best can. We hope to hear from the brethren in other States as well as Michigan, on the subject of Systematic Benevolence. If we are not greatly mistaken, this is just the thing at this time when our efforts to spread the truth should be greatly increased. J. W.
