Appeal to Assign Publishing Stock
It has been clearly shown that our people generally were in hearty sympathy with the removal of our work from Battle Creek, Mich., to Washington, D. C. This sympathy has been manifested both in many letters received at this office and in substantial donations to meet the expenses involved in the removal. Besides this, a very large number of those who held stock in the S. D. A. Publishing Association of Battle Creek have freely assigned their stock to the trustee appointed by the General Conference Committee, that they might co-operate with the plan to remove the publishing work to this city. For all this we have felt exceedingly thankful, and our courage has been strengthened. There are, however, some who have not yet responded to the request to assign their stock, and to these we make another appeal to do so without further delay. There may be some who have decided not to dispose of their stock in this way. With such we have no controversy. We simply leave the responsibility of this decision with them. It is likely, however, that there are others who intend to respond to the appeals in this matter, but have simply neglected to act. To them we desire to say that a prompt assignment of their stock will help the proposed removal much more than to do the same thing two or three months later. Will not those who feel friendly to the intended change fill out the blank on the back side of their certificates of stock, as directed by Brother Evans last week, and forward to him at once? Here is certainly a case where it is advisable to follow that well-known motto, “Do it now.”
