A Proposition.

By James White

At the present time means are wanted to carry on properly the business of the Publishing department. The friends are doing something in the way of donations to buy paper, and $3 a year for Review.

But we propose as a proper course to meet present wants, that those who have means which they would safely deposit, lend it to the Association without interest, in sums from $25 to $100, no one to deposit more than $100.

There are many who can put into the treasury of the Publishing Association $100 each, who would never need to take it out, and probably never would take it out; but these can receive the Association's note on sending the money to the Office, and collect it at pleasure.

Those who have money at the Office to the amount of $100 will understand that we can take no more from them. But those who have money that they have no other use for at present, will confer a favor on the Publishing department to deposit $100 or less, each, in its treasury.

Send in drafts on New York or Boston, payable to James White, and receive in exchange if you wish, the note of the Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association.
