CORRECTED UP TO FEB. 25, 1870. 214766 Ix the year 1867, it was suggested that a fund be raised by donations for the gratuitous distribution of tracts issued by the Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association. Small donations were made, and a few tracts were given. In January, 1868, a call was made for a sum suffi- cient to enable the Association to give to the worthy poor such works as Spiritual Gifts, Sabbath Readings, How to Live, Appeal to Youth, Appeal to Mothers, and the two large Charts in cloth as they came from the lithographer. This appeal was first made to the Battle Creek church. The members of this church responded liberally, and set a good example to others. Our brethren in different parts of the field took hold of this good work with a liberal hand, and means came in. Notice was then given that these works would be given to those not able to purchase them. And, more, it was decided to urge them upon the attention of those who had not sufficient interest to purchase them. It was seen that these are the very persons who need them most. Especially is this true of Spiritual Gifts. Our friends who had not these works were urged to purchase them. To those not able to purchase, they were offered free of cost. The result is as follows : The sum of $2,268.94 has been received. The sum given in books is $1,886.71, leaving $382.23 on hand. Of the above-named books there has been one- third given, while two-thirds have been sold for cash in hand. This class of books is nearly disposed of, and the fund is not expended. I am happy to give so encouraging a r_e_poltofj4is fund. Of this Imiin,vvil REs wry g ANDREWS UNIVERSITY BERRIEN SPRINGS, MICH. 49104 2 �REPORT OF BOOK FUND. � REPORT OF BOOK FUND. carefully expended in the circulation of these important works, and that the matter has been managed in the most judicious manner. At the camp-meeting in Wright, Mich., Sept., 1868, I made an appeal to the friends of the cause present, which there met the liberal response of pledges to the amount of $1,400. On that camp ground I commenced the work of giv- ing books. Of those to be given from this new fund, I added to Life Incidents the tracts entitled, The Law and the Gospel, God's Memorial, and Little Will. I have since added Bro. Smith's work in answer to ob- jections to the visions, and selected packages of our choicest tracts. The friends of the cause, from Maine to Minnesota, have liberally donated to this fund. And with a liberal hand have I given books. At our general gatherings in Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, and Ohio, I have freely given of these books, pamphlets, and tracts, to the poor. I have sent by mail not a small amount of these works to the poor, in all parts of the field, who have asked for them. And I have given more or less to nearly all our active ministers, to enable them to give them to proper persons where they may labor. I have given according to my judgment as the different fields of labor seemed to demand, without reference to the amounts pledged in the different fields. In the West, and in the State of Michigan, but few books have yet been given, in New York more, and in New England still more. Under the circumstances, much of the work of free distribution of books has necessarily been hastily and imperfectly done. Care, however, has been taken not to give them to unworthy persons. And it has only been for want of time to learn the wants of all, that some have not been served. There are preachers and leading brethren in different parts of the field who probably should have quantities of these works, more or less, for free distribution. These will be supplied. As a general thing, our experienced ministers are the proper persons to distribute these books at the expense of the fund. In most cases, brethren and sisters choose to purchase them at the extremely low prices at which they are sold for general distribution. Relative to the prices of our publications, I am happy to state that, for gratuitous distribution, whether purchased by our brethren for that purpose, or charged to the book fund, our tracts can be furnished at the Office at the rate of 1600 pp. for $1.00. And at pres- ent prices of stock and for labor, they will be furnished at this extremely low price. Pamphlets and bound books will be furnished for gratuitous distribution at corresponding rates. We send our publications to agents and colporteurs in all parts of the Eastern, Middle, and Western States, and pay common freights, and discount one-fourth from published prices. But on all publications for gratuit- ous circulation, whether purchased by brethren, or charged to the book fund, there will be a discount of one-third from published prices. There are no publishing houses in the United States that furnish books and tracts below our published prices. Even those houses, such as the American Tract Society, where they print for the million, and are receiving legacies from the rich, have their prices above these. The truth must be proclaimed. The number of our efficient preachers is small, and much must be clone through our publications. Does God call men to sacri- fice in the work of preaching the truth ? So he calls on all the church to sacrifice something to proclaim abroad his truth through the medium of publications. This is a work of sacrifice. All should bear a part. The printer must sacrifice, and those who circulate the books will bear their part in this work of sacrifice by cheerfully doing their part of the work without pay. And then there will be no want of interest on the part of our people in giving of their means. I have called on our people to contribute of their means. They are responding nobly. But when our tracts cannot be afforded at what it costs to print them, where they are to be gratuitously circulated, then I shall cease to call for means to sustain this branch of the cause of present truth. A certain minister was appealing to a congregation 4 �REPORT OF BOOK FUND. for money to send to a Christian missionary in a for- eign land. The hat was passed. An infidel threw in a quarter of a dollar. As the hat was being passed from him, " Hold," said he, " here is a dollar to get the quarter to the missionary." This was a sharp and fitting rebuke upon the practice of employing salaried officers to manage benevolent funds. It is a work of sacrifice. And when it fails to be such, let the work cease. But it will not cease. With the greatest confidence I can speak in behalf of our people everywhere. They have means for this enter- prise, and when they see it managed by men who have a heart in it, they will most cheerfully give of their means. We now have in contemplation five volumes of 400 pages each, besides several pamphlets and numerous tracts, which will be furnished at the low rates before mentioned, when purchased for gratuitous circulation, or given at the expense of the book fund. In the following pages are the names of those who have pledged to this fund, with the sums pledged. Some have not yet paid. Many have paid. We are publishing books, pamphlets, and tracts, very largely, and invite all who would assist us in the work to pay their pledges. The sooner the better. Again, I have taken the liberty to add the names of some who have not pledged, and to change some of the figures of the amounts pledged, with the supposition that when the importance and magnitude of this work are more fully understood, the liberal donors will fully approve of the changes. All the time necessary will be given such. If any should be dissatisfied, they will please inform me, and I will change back their figures. And many will feel dissatisfied with their small figures. Such can raise them as high as they choose. par It has been at General Meetings, when I had much labor and care upon my hands, that I have re- ceived many of the donations for the book and tract fund. Without doubt many mistakes have occurred. I wish here to state : 1. Brethren, be liberal in this work. If you are REPORT OF BOOK FUND. �5 certain that I have put your figures too high, put them lower. If not, let them remain. And you who are dissatisfied with your small fig- ures, should raise them liberally higher. All who receive this report should promptly re- spond to its call. If you have done your duty, please call the attention of others to it, and do all you can to urge oil this good work. Many who should have their names on this book, represented by a liberal sum, are not here. Send us as many names and as large donations as you can. Doubtless some have paid, who are not marked paid. All mistakes will be promptly corrected when pointed out. And the sooner all pledges are paid the better. All communications relative to this fund may be ad- dressed to � ELD.
