TO THE BRETHREN IN OHIO.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

Two weeks ago we balanced our account with J. B. Gregory, our State S. B. Treasurer; and found that he had only ten dollars in money on hand. There are three months' pay due the most of the laborers in the Conference, and these brethren need their money.

I am sorry to see that our brethren have been falling off the past winter in their S. B. We have tried to have every church in the Conference visited and labored with faithfully, so that there could be no complaint of neglect, and in a great majority of cases this has been done.

We are still doing all we can to build up the cause in this State. Our preachers are poor, and their families needy. We appeal to you, brethren and sisters, in the fear of God, Are you really doing your duty in this matter? Have you paid a tithe of your income during the past year? Many have done this, I know; but I am sorry to say that many have not. And I know quite a number who pay nothing, or next to nothing into the S. B. fund. Brethren, how can you be so negligent, when the money is so much needed to assist the worthy servants of God?

The tent season is right upon us, and our brethren must be provided with means, or they cannot enter the field. We ask all, therefore, to consider the matter and send in all they can, and God will bless you.
