Avenging of the Elect
Earlier text: Avenging of the Elect

Something New.

By Editor

OUR style of mailing this week is new to many of the readers of the Review. It is something new, at least in this Office. We will here point out some of its valuable advantages.
1. By it each subscriber knows every week just how his or her account stands, which must be gratifying to those whose religious principles have sufficient influence over their conduct in life to lead them to promptly pay in advance, according to the terms of the Review.
2. By it the unpleasant job of printing, filling out, and sending, common bills of indebtedness, is dispensed with, as every week each delinquent has, exposed on the margin of his or her paper, a very significant bill of their delinquency, showing how far they are behind; while the prompt and true friends of the cause have exhibited on the margin of their papers every week the Vol. and No. to which they have paid, showing how far they have paid in advance.
3. By it those to whom the Review is sent free, or at half price, are notified of the fact every week.
4. Printed lists of subscribers, showing how each one's account stands, can be furnished to the officers of the different churches to enable them to ascertain who should have the Review at half price, and report to the Office, and how much to take from their treasuries to pay for those half-price subscribers who cannot themselves pay. And when advisable, ministers who travel and hold Conferences can have lists of whole States to assist them in collecting, and making out a report of those who among the scattered ones should have the Review free, or at half price.
It is expected that every church will pay the one-half price of all its members who cannot themselves pay, and that the scattered ones of this class will be paid, either by those who order the paper for them, or by donations from the liberal for the Review to the worthy poor. In this case the free list should be very small, not exceeding one hundred.
Several who were marked on the books half price, are put at full price, and some who were marked free, are put at half price. A few who were far behind, we have marked as paid to Vol. xviii, No. 1, the point of time when the Office books passed from us to the Association. We expect some changes will be made, and request all who think their circumstances demand that their account should be changed to half price, to notify the officers of their church without delay. The scattered ones will please state their claims for half price or free to some one of our acknowledged preachers with whom they are acquainted. If they are separated from churches, and are not acquainted with any of our preachers, they will please send their claims without delay to the Office.
The present autumn is a favorable time for delinquents to square up, and pay the next volume in advance. We design to have a clean list as soon as possible, and give this timely notice that at the close of the present volume, only ten weeks distant, we shall strike from the lists the names of all who owe for one volume or more, unless we hear from them. Those who wish a few weeks' more time can be accommodated by sending a request in season.

EXPLANATIONS.

The letters and figures at the right hand of the printed name show the volume and number to which you have paid. The fraction ½ indicates half price. The letters fr show that the paper is sent free of charge. The star shows that the paper is ordered and paid for by another.
It can hardly be expected that in transcribing so many names with the accounts, no mistakes should occur. All errors will be promptly corrected.

The Gospel’s Immediate Application

By Chapin

The great power of the Gospel to me is its immediate application to my wants, to my soul's life, to my best desires, to my immortal prospects. That is the everlasting verification of it to me.—Chapin.

Tent Meeting at Fairport, N. Y.

By J. N. Andrews, M. E. Cornell

THE tent was pitched in the village of Fairport, nine miles east of Rochester, Friday, Aug. 15. We were permitted to hold our meeting in the yard pertaining to the Universalist meeting-house, and were freely tendered the use of that house in unfavorable weather, or indeed whenever we chose to use it. This act of courtesy is in strong contrast with the conduct of those churches who style themselves ‑ortho‑dox,‑ and yet do all in their power to prevent the people from learning their true character.
Our meeting continued until Sunday evening, Sept. 7. The whole period was one of the most intense excitement of the public mind relative to the war. We gave up our tent for two war-meetings in the evening, and also for one in the afternoon. Under the circumstances we found it impossible to gain the general attention of the people, yet quite a number attended all the meetings, and acknowledged their faith in the truths preached. We think that not less than twelve expressed their determination to observe the Sabbath of the Lord. We pray that grace may be given them to maintain that decision. Eight persons subscribed for the Review. We think that there may be an opening for good in this place should a measure of peace be restored to our nation. We were kindly entertained by those who were not identified with our faith. We trust that they will not lose their reward.

Warnings!

By Uriah Smith

WE have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed,—2 PETER i, 19.
“Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.”
“Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee; hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.”
“For behold the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall no more cover her slain.”
“Now, therefore, be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord God of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.”
“Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people; let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.”
“For the indignation of the Lord is upon ALL NATIONS, and his fury upon ALL their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter. Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcasses, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.”
“And all the hosts of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll; and all their hosts shall fall down, as a leaf falleth off from the vine, and as the falling fig from the fig-tree.”
“For it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance, and the year of recompense for the controversy of Zion.” “For the day of vengeance is in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.”
“Therefore, wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger; for all the earth shall be devoured by the fire of my jealousy.”
“A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the Lord hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will gather them that are wicked to the sword, saith the Lord.”
“Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.”
“And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.”
“The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the Lord: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. That day is a day of wrath, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness.”
“For behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble.”
“And the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.”
“Whosoever shall fall upon this stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall it will grind him to powder.”—N. Y. Independent.
Shall we set down the Independent as an “Advent” paper! How else can we account for the appearance in its columns, without note or comment, of the above compilation of texts, as scriptures containing warnings applicable to the present time? U. S.

Bold and True.

THE HON. THADDEUS STEVENS, Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means in the present House, having been re-elected to said House in 1860 by the pretty decisive vote of 12,964 to 470 scattering, has just been unanimously nominated to the next House. On being notified of his nomination, he appeared and addressed the Convention as follows:
FELLOW CITIZENS: I have come for the purpose of thanking you and accepting your nomination. It is always gratifying to a public man to be assured of the continued confidence of those whose servant he is, but especially so in times like these when the wisest men differ on questions of policy. I had prepared to speak on those questions, and to criticise, not in a fulsome manner, but as I thought it deserved, the conduct of the war and the present policy of the administration; but in the last hour I have hesitated whether to speak as I had intended—whether it were proper to criticise now, in this hour of deepest gloom, when we know not where our armies are, but know that they are nowhere successful. But, whether we advise the Government, or find fault with it, wemust all do everything to strengthen the hands of our nation. Let us not despair; life is not all sunshine—it has gloom with joy, adversity with prosperity—nor is the victory always to the just—human energy and earnestness will often wrest from fate that which would seem to belong to justice alone. Possibly we have not yet suffered enough; but let no man falter in his loyalty to his Government, no matter how he may criticize its policy; for he who falters now is a traitor, not only to his country, but to humanity and to his God. I have not determined whether to speak as I intended; perhaps when we know the result of those few days, I may meet you and speak to you. I have protested against the present policy, not only to the people, but to the face of the President and his Cabinet, and on the floor of Congress, as those know who have done me the honor to read my speeches; told them that they were exercising too much lenity at the request of border statesmen—not one of whom, in my judgment, has loyalty in his heart. I have accused the prime minister to his face for having gone back from the faith he taught us, and instead of arming every man, black or white, who would fight for this Union, withholding a well-meaning President from doing so until, as we advance into their country and our armies dwindle away from miasma and disease, they spring up behind us, and retake what we have gained. They still hold the Mississippi, and threaten us even on the banks of the Ohio; all because the slaves at home are giving them no trouble—because we are, at the point of the bayonet, keeping them loyal to their masters instead of to the Union! I have told these things to the President and Cabinet, and they replied—"it may come to this." "Come to this!" when two hundred thousand men have melted away, and two billion dollars spent: "Come to this!" when another half million lives shall have been lost, and a billion of dollars more laid upon you in taxation. I cannot and will not stand this—and if you elect me, I shall vote that every man be armed, black and white, who can aid in crushing the Rebellion; that every inch of Rebel soil be taken and sold to pay the debt of this war. I will not go with the President in paying for all the slaves—I did not vote for his resolution—I will not vote to pay for any slave of a Rebel! But I will uphold the Administration as far as possible—saying at the same time that it is all in vain unless they change their policy. Would it not be better that 15,000 armed slaves should lie unburied around the battle-fields near Manasses than that your friends and mine should thus be there? The Rebels might have slain them; they would have saved us, and our own men would have gone fresh into action and to victory. Yet at this sympathizers with treason at the north cry—"Abolition!" Abolition—yes! abolish everything on the face of the earth but this Union; free every slave—slay every traitor—burn every Rebel mansion, if these things be necessary to preserve this temple of freedom to the world and to our posterity. Unless we do this, we cannot conquer them. I have spoken thus in Congress—and in the last week, after a few remarks of mine the vote was 84 to 42, 84 agreeing with me, where a year ago not fifty could have been found; and if I go back there again, if we have any one left to fight by that time, the whole nation will be with me! Either we must pursue that policy, or the war will be disgracefully abandoned at last and our country divided—and he is a traitor who talks of separation on any terms! Again I thank you—I have said more than I intended when I began, less than I expected last night; but I have told you these things that, even if my principles be wrong, they shall never be hidden.—N. Y. Tribune.

Meetings in Indiana.

By Joseph Bates

Bro. WHITE:—By invitation of Bro. M. Kellogg, I held a series of meetings in the town of Portage, Porter Co., Ind., which continued every evening for two weeks commencing Aug. 20.
This was the first time this people had ever listened to our position. Bro. M. Kellogg and wife, with his father and mother moved here from Ionia, Michigan, a few months since. Many of the people in their neighborhood manifested an interest to hear, and six declared their intention to keep the Sabbath, so that there was a company of ten Sabbath keepers when I left, and they were expecting that some others who were deeply interested would join them. One was baptized.
Soon after our meetings commenced one of the congregation invited me to call on him. I called the next morning and found his wife on a sick bed, sorely afflicted. She had been told by her family about our preaching, and desired to hear me. Before praying with her, we conversed relative to our position and the importance of her commencing to keep the Sabbath, as the first step. She said that she had been convicted for some time, that the Seventh day Sabbath was the right one to keep, but she had not known how to get about it.
She continued, saying, I had a little book, on the subject of the Sabbath, sent me by my sister in York State, which convinced me, but she sent no letter with it to explain whether she was keeping the Sabbath herself, &c. But, said she, I will begin now, and keep it, for I know it is my duty. A daughter sitting by, who had attended our meetings, (whose husband had gone to the war,) said, I shall keep the Sabbath with my mother. After praying with them, the mother seemed much blessed and when I left the place, was so that she sat up a good part of the day. After this, her husband came to our Sabbath meeting, and confessed the truth, and said that he would keep the Sabbath; also another daughter.
I asked Mrs. McFarlin, (that is her name,) where her sister lived, and her name. She answered, Eliza Ann Ferren, wife of David Ferren, of Clarkson, Monroe Co., New York. The title of the little book is, ‒A Word for the Sabbath.– I hope this statement will encourage others to send little books on the Sabbath, and other works to their relatives and friends, and tell them how deeply interested they are, in the doctrines they contain. It may be as likely to convince them as a three weeks' visit. And then how glad you will be. Moreover the angels in heaven will rejoice. And very likely, if by such a little winged instrument, they should be led onward to obtain eternal life, and you should be so happy as to be saved with them; how many ten thousand times your glad heart will leap for joy, on hearing that soul, ascribing honor, glory, and everlasting praise to Him who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, for moving you, their never-to-be-forgotten friend, to send them that little book.
Brother, sister, hurry, and mail the little books, that they may speed their flight, and reach your impatient friends, before the dreadful storm that is now gathering, shall sweep all the living away with wailings of unutterable anguish and despair, except those who are sealed with the seal of the living God.
I have been holding meetings in this place the past Sabbath and first-day. More soon.
JOSEPH BATES.

An Extract from a Letter Written to a Distant Female Friend.

By Ellen G. White

You speak of living among secesh. I am sorry that it is so. It is so strange that Northern men can sympathize with this terrible rebellion and the institution of slavery.
But have you never considered that there is a greater rebellion against God's government by the inhabitants of the earth, which is winked at? Satan was the first rebel. He is the great leader of all rebellions. He rebelled against the laws of God's government, framed by God himself, which were afterward written with his own finger upon tables of stone. Nearly all the human family have proved disloyal to the higher law, the ten commandments. We are laboring with all our energies to show the transgressors of God's law their danger, and bring them back to their allegiance to the higher constitution and laws. The world is given to idolatry, and they have forgotten God, their Maker and Preserver. They openly transgress his law, trample on the Sabbath, and in thus doing break the fourth commandment of the decalogue. Instead of keeping God's own rest-day, which he sanctified after he had rested upon it, and set it apart for man to observe and reverence, they honor a Papal institution. Oh, how the God of heaven has been insulted and despised. I pity the Sabbath-breaker who has soon to meet God over his broken law. No excuse will avail the transgressor then, for with the Bible and the almanac, every person of common abilities can tell just what day God sanctified and commanded him to observe, and when that day comes.
We have now an exhibition in our land of how serious a matter it is to lightly esteem, or rise up against, and prove disloyal to, the government or constitution of our land. And then consider how high a crime it must be to trample upon and despise the laws of God's government, and bow to, and reverence, an institution of Papacy, framed by the Man of Sin, who exalted himself above God, and who is the great enemy of God. Is not this the highest and most heaven-daring rebellion? Does it not deserve the highest punishment? Will God take to heaven, and into his own glorious presence, those who are living in open violation of one of the plainest precepts of the decalogue? No, no. It can never be that he will take those who are living in rebellion to his holy law to heaven, among pure angels who delight to do his will, and obey the laws of his righteous government, for there would be a second rebellion in heaven. The indignation of heaven is aroused at man's open and daring rebellion against God's holy law.
The signs are fulfilling which give us unmistakable evidence that Christ is at the door. And just before he shall come in his majesty and glory to take vengeance on the rebellious, that all may be left without excuse, he will cause a proclamation of his law to go forth that every disloyal subject may return to their allegiance to his government and laws. If they continue in their rebellion they can find no more place in heaven than Satan found after he rebelled.
You may plead that you cannot keep the Sabbath because your friends do not keep it. Such an excuse you will not dare to plead before Him who suffered so much to redeem you. Matt. x: 36. "He that loveth father or mother than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter other than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross and followeth after me is not worthy of me."
Luke xiv, 26. "If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, cannot be my disciple."
Verse 33. "So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple." Many passages of scripture I might refer you to, but you are acquainted with them. How many as they read these plain, close words of our Saviour, will pass them by unheeded! Others will look at them doubtfully, and turn away, saying, These are hard sayings; who can obey them? Did not our Saviour know that many would not obey his requirements? Did he who so loved us as to give his life for us, leave us any requirements or conditions of salvation which we could not obey? Oh, no, all his requirements are reasonable and just, and we can obey them.
Hate referred to in Luke xiv, 26, means a less degree of love. We are to have supreme love to God, and our friends are to be loved secondarily. Our love for husband, wife, brother, sisters, father, or mother, must be inferior to our love to God. Our love for these dear relatives must not be blind and selfish, and cause us to forget God. When these ties of relationship lead us to prefer their favor by disregarding the truth, we love them more than we love Jesus, and are not worthy of him. In that fearful time when we need an arm to protect and shield us, stronger than any human arm, stronger than the arm of father, brother, or husband, and shall call upon him that is mighty to save, he will not hear us. He will bid us to lean upon those whom we preferred before him, whom we loved above him, whom we would not forsake for him. He will say, Let them deliver you, let them save you. I gave you proof of my love. I left the glory of my Father, and all my majesty and splendor, and came into a world cursed with sin and pollution. For your sakes I became poor, that you through my poverty might be made rich. I bore insult and mockery, and died a shameful death upon the cross, to save you from hopeless misery and death. Yet this did not excite your love enough to obey me, and lead you to prefer my favor above the favor of earthly friends, who have given you but feeble proofs of their love. I know you not; depart from me.
God will test and prove his people. One sacred truth after another will be brought to bear upon their hearts, close and cutting, until their faith will be purified and tried like gold, until all their dross will be purged away, and Jesus will present them unto his Father without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing. We must overcome through trials and sufferings, as Jesus overcame. We must not shun the cross or the suffering part of religion. The language of the heart should be, Let me know the fellowship of the sufferings of Christ. Let me suffer with him that I may reign with him. ELLEN G. WHITE.

"Systematic-Labor" Calls.

FROM WRIGHT, MICH.
BRO. WHITE: At a meeting of the Seventh-day Adventist church of Wright, Mich., September 7, 1862, the following action was taken:
Resolved, That we feel willing, and it would afford us pleasure as a church, to sustain a messenger among us. We therefore pledge ourselves ready to provide a home, and care for such an one as shall be willing to take up his abode with us; and we will contribute to all his support according to the goods and ability God has put in our hands. JAMES SAWYER, Clerk.
FROM OWASSO, MICH.
BRO WHITE: I have been requested by the churches at St. Charles, Chesaning, and Owasso, to respond to your suggestion under the head of "Systematic Labor," in Review No 8, and request that some one of the messengers locate at, or in the vicinity of, Owasso, it being nearly a central point among five or six churches. Fourteen miles north is the church at Chesaning. Nine miles beyond them is the church at St. Charles. Twenty miles west is the church at Green Bush. South-west is the church at Woodhull, and southeast the church at Lock, each about twenty miles distant. Besides these are the churches on or near the rail road both east and west.
It is a point easily accessible from almost all parts, either by stage or rail road. It is proposed by the friends here to provide a home for any of the messengers that will come, also to provide as far as necessary for the wants of his family.
It is further requested that brethren Loughborough and Hull give a course of lectures in the city of Owasso at their earliest opportunity. Notice being given in season when they can come, the use of a large and commodious hall will be secured. The friends of the cause in this vicinity are becoming considerably stirred up by beholding the ominous signs of the times, and desire to put forth vigorous efforts that perishing souls may be brought to a saving knowledge of mercy's lastcall, that they, with us, may be shielded from the storm that is now gathering.
Yours for the interests of Zion. E. S. GRIGGS. Owasso, Mich.

Progress of Emancipation

PROGRESS OF EMANCIPATION.—Russia, before the year closes, will have abolished serfdom; Holland, through her Parliament, demands immediate emancipation in all her colonies; Brazil and the United States stand alone on this continent, as slaveholding countries; but Catholic Brazil is in advance of Protestant United States, for she forbids the selling of slaves at auction, or the separation of slave families.

Christians in Worldly Company

A Christian in worldly company should be like a traveler in a storm ; making haste out of it.

"The Borers Prepared the Way."

RECENTLY passing through a park in which several beautiful locust trees had been prostrated by the storm, we expressed our surprise at the effect of the brief though terrific blast that swept over the town. "Oh, the borers prepared the way for the tempest. Don't you see those dark lines through the heart of the tree," replied a friend. And there, unseen to the careless observer, were the traces of the destroying reptiles, while the green foliage waved in the sunlight, and the birds of song made music in the boughs.
And thus it is, we thought, with human character. Often communites and nations are startled at the sudden fall into open disgrace of a person in whom general confidence was reposed, and who, perhaps, was conspicuous for Christian activity and influence.
God had seen what man could not discern, the inward decay. The fatal worms of lust, avarice, and unholy ambition, had eaten away the moral principle, and even the strength of a noble manhood. And when the gale of strong temptation came, the victim fell, and ever after was a wreck by the paths of life, warning the wondering beholders of the danger of secret sins, and waiting only the final stroke of doom to consign it to "everlasting shame and contempt."
To all comes the solemn assurance of the living oracles, "Be sure your sin will find you out," either before the cross of atonement, or in the Golgotha of the second death.—Tract Journal.

The Love of God

THERE is nothing of any value but the love of God, and the accomplishment of his will; which is pure, substantial happiness; a joy that no man taketh from us.

The Road to Heaven

More persons fall out concerning the right road to heaven, than ever get to the end of the journey.

Casting Large-Caliber Guns

THE Portland Company in Portland, Me., have made arrangements for casting guns of a large caliber, and have a Government contract for casting fifty 11-inch Dahlgrens.

Humility Earns the Wise Regard

The more you think of yourself the less will wise and holy men think of you : you will find it hard to believe this : vain men would fain be wise.

Ohio State Conference Assistance

By I. N. Van Gorder

From Bro. Van Gorder.

BRO. WHITE: As the time for holding our State Conference, in October, is fast approaching, and the conference committee as well as the brethren generally are very much scattered, I take this early opportunity to inquire if you and Sr. White can attend our conference. I presume you are fully aware that we have no help for that occasion, and consequently look for help from abroad. Therefore will you (upon whom, all the oversight seems to devolve) inform us whether you can send us help or not. I suppose Bro. Cornell would come if no other door opens, but we leave the matter with you as you know our wants probably as well as any one else. We want the pointed Testimony. I fear Ohio is getting sound asleep. May something cause her to awake.
Will you please inform me by return mail, if you can possibly, who can come, as it takes considerable time to confer with the rest of the committee in regard to the matter, and we would like to have about three weeks' notice of the Conference in the Review, for the reason we do not always receive our papers promptly. Last fall the notice was so brief many did not know of the meetings until too late to attend: and our conference last spring had too brief a notice, some hearing of it only the eve before starting: and if it had not been for a letter Bro. Cornell, wrote to me, there would have been no Tent here nor preparation of any kind made. But providentially the letter was written, and all the arrangements made that were made, on short notice. It is to avoid such inconveniences that I address you thus early, if early it may be said to be.
Ohio would have been undoubtedly encouraged if two or three churches could have been raised up here this season; but the kind of encouragement we need the most is that which we receive by advancing in the cause of the third angel's message. We have concluded to encourage Bro. Baker and hope another season to secure the labors of an experienced messenger. May the Lord guide and direct to his glory and our good.
Will you please respond at your earliest opportunity. In love and truth affectionately yours. I. N. VAN GORDER. Portage, O.

Michigan State Conference.

By Uriah Smith

THE next session of "The Michigan Conference of Seventh-day Adventists," will be held, according to resolution at its last meeting, in Monterey, Mich., Sabbath and first-day, Oct. 4 and 5, 1862. Chairman, Eld. Joseph Bates. Conference Committee, J. N. Loughborough, M. E. Cornell, and Moses Hull.
Notice of the meeting is given thus early that all the churches may have ample time for the election and instruction of their delegates.
U. SMITH, Clerk.

Michigan State Conference.

The brethren at Monterey have just built a commodious house of worship, forty feet by sixty, and are making preparations for a great gathering to the State conference. We hope they will not be disappointed. It is true the meeting is not very central, and that delegates from some churches will have to travel from one to two hundred miles, yet it is expected that there will be two or more delegates from every church, or company of brethren in the State. A general attendance of the brethren within two days' ride of the meeting is expected, and as many from more distant parts of the State and from other States, as can come and enjoy this feast of the saints. Come expecting to stay till Tuesday morning, as the business of the Association and conference will probably hold till Monday night.

The Association.

By Editor

We are glad to see the donation from the little church at Hundred Mile Grove, Wis., and from the little handful of brethren at Dartmouth, Mass., and from others. This is the way to do it, brethren. You will not feel a small donation, but small donations from all of you will lift the Association's debts. Let it be done within two weeks.
