The Michigan and Northern Indiana Fund.
By Editor
THIS fund is raised to support the preachers of the conference in their labors with the tent or otherwise. It is designed to support our preachers, and to meet all the expenses connected with their labors. Every church should pledge what they can give during the year, to support the ministers of the conference and meet the expenses of the cause connected with their labors. Then when a minister visits a church, and that church chooses to hand him a certain sum, the church pays so much of the money pledged. We make these remarks for the reason that we see that some do not fully understand the arrangement. Some churches send their individual pledges to the financial committee. This is not correct. Let each church arrange their systematic benevolence with the use of our new S. B. blank books, and pay their own weekly sums into their own treasury. Then when they learn what they can raise monthly, they can understandingly decide how much they can put into the conference treasury monthly, and can send their pledges to the committee on the plan suggested in the committee's circular. This circular can be sent to any who desire it. For further explanation we refer the reader to our remarks following the suggestions of Bro. D. Arnold.
