Report of S. B. Operations in New York.
By J. M. Aldrich
For the benefit of the brethren at large, but more especially for the information and notification of the churches and brethren within the bounds of the N. Y. Conference, I give through the Review the following report, showing the amount of money pledged by said churches and brethren for the advancement of present truth, through the operations of the S. B. plan; also showing the percentage thereof required to be paid into the treasury of the State Conference, as per decision of the Conference Committee, made in pursuance of authority vested in them for such purpose. (See Rule 4, Conference Proceedings.) I would say that the Conference Committee—J. M. Lindsay, H. Hilliard, and J. M. Aldrich, recently came together, and after duly estimating the demands of the cause in this State for the ensuing season, and upon considering the proper expenses to be defrayed by the Conference, concluded to levy seventy-five per cent. or three-fourths of the S. B. fund of the several churches for Conference purposes. The first column of figures in the following list shows the whole amount pledged by the several churches named below; and the second column shows the seventy-five per cent. of the same, to be paid into the Conference treasury: Olcott, ...... $104,00 ...... $78,00

Total, ...... $1693,80 ...... $1320,35 Enough has been said heretofore about being prompt. It is therefore sufficient to say that it is expected that the several churches named in the foregoing list, will forward to our treasurer, J. B. Lamson, Rochester, N. Y., one-half of the foregoing percentage by the first day of May, and the remaining half by the first of September. J. M. Aldrich, Conf. Sec.
