The Association.

By E. S. Walker

A copy of the Catalogue of Shares of Stock in the Publishing Association, and donations to the same, will be sent to each stock-holder and donor in a few days, by which will be seen the amount each State, each church, and each person, has raised. The States stand as follows:

Maine, ................................................................... $309,00 New Hampshire, .................................................... 95,95 Vermont, .................................................................. 815,25 Massachusetts, ........................................................ 132,00 Rhode Island, .......................................................... 10,00 Connecticut, ............................................................ 44,00 New York, ........................................................... 1842,86 Pennsylvania, ......................................................... 10,00 Ohio, ........................................................................ 453,70 Indiana, ................................................................... 342,90 Michigan, ............................................................... 4408,06 Illinois, ..................................................................... 503,66 Wisconsin, .............................................................. 804,64 Iowa, ........................................................................ 412,46 Minnesota, .............................................................. 45,00 Canadas East and West, ........................................ 90,00 Elsewhere, .............................................................. 54,65

Total, ....................................................... $10374,13

The entire amount of all sums donated by the friends of the cause of the third message, to the publishing department, prior to the organization of the Publishing Association, including the $700 first raised to establish the small Office in Rochester, N. Y., and $300 raised soon after to purchase more material, the $1355 book fund, the $2500 for power press, engine, and fixtures, is $4855. This added to the $10374,13 since

raised for the Association makes the entire publishing property cost the friends of the cause the sum of $15229,13.

By a safe estimate of the property of the Association, its value is decided to be not less than $20000, which is nearly $5000 more than what it has cost the friends of the cause. This speaks well for the integrity and faithfulness of Bro. White and those who have been associated with him in the Review Office.
