BILLS! BILLS!

By James White

THIS week we send bills of indebtedness to all who have not paid for the present volume of the REVIEW AND HERALD. Some owe for several volumes. The sums due range from fifty cents to seven dollars.

If any mistakes have occurred, we shall be happy to correct them. No one should receive their bills as an offensive dun, but rather with gratitude to the publishers that the amount of their indebtedness is shown to them by this gentle hint, after waiting so long.

Some may receive bills who have never ordered the REVIEW, it having been sent to them by request of their friends. In this case we hope not to be censured, as those who order papers for their friends should see that they are paid for or discontinued.

THE AMOUNT DUE.

From New England and Canada, ............. $282,49. " New York and Pennsylvania, .......... $340,28. " Ohio, ............................................ $175,47. " Wisconsin, Ills., Iowa, Min., &c., .... $400,42. " Michigan and Indiana, ................... $682,94.

Total amount due on the REVIEW, .......... $1881,60.

Several warm friends of the cause have lent money to this Office, without interest, to the amount of fifteen hundred dollars which has been expended. Hence the absolute necessity of promptness on the part of all to pay what thay owe. It will be a great relief to the Office, and a matter of real encouragement to all connected with it, to see promptness on the part of all who owe the Office.

To all such we would say,—Please take up Good Samaritan, No. 3, again, and read carefully the facts therein stated under the significant caption, "Love thy Neighbor as Thyself," and with your feelings touched with these facts act with all that promptness that your duty, considering the nature of the case, demands.
