THE ASSOCIATION.

By Editor

We call attention to our remarks two weeks since relating to the Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association. We stated that its debts were $3,500, a large portion of which should be paid without delay. In order to raise this amount we proposed the payment of all pledged shares before the first of June, also donations from its numerous friends. We stated that a catalogue of shares, pledges, paid and unpaid, and donations would be issued by the first of June, (now deferred till July, till after the wool-harvest which promises well this year,) and sent to all share-holders and donors. It is expected that this debt will be met by that time, and that we can then issue a catalogue that will do honor to the cause we love.

The Battle Creek church again sets an example to the churches, and brethren scattered abroad by donating to the Association $50 more from the systematic benevolence fund, receipted in this week's paper, in all, $150. Should all our churches and brethren donate to the Association in proportion, the entire sum thus donated would be at least $15,000. But the sum needed to meet the entire debts of the Association is only $3,500. We are confident that it will be the pleasure of all the friends to promptly do a little at this time, and have the debt removed.
