TO THE BRETHREN IN MINN.
By J. Bostwick
DEAR BRETHREN: Shall the Minn. tent run this season? The question is easily answered in the negative, unless brethren manifest more of a willingness to act their part in sustaining the expenses. A third of the pledges made last winter at the Pleasant Grove conference was to have been paid by the first of June. I would just say that not a third of a third has been paid yet. A few have acted their part well. I know you have lost considerable in consequence of broken banks; but if the tent cannot be run, the sooner we know it the better. We have had to get some new ropes in order to make the tent secure, for which we are in debt. NOTE. We hope Bro. Bostwick, and the brethren in Minnesota will be encouraged to do the best they can. Bro. B. owes the Office for books $75,70. This will be paid from the Missionary Fund, and given as a present to the Minn. Tent. If the brethren in that new State manifest a good interest to do what they are able, Eastern brethren will be happy to help the cause there.—ED.
