With the continual increase of membership there was a steady and continued growth in finances. This is indicated by the report in the Review of May 16, 1863, where the secretary of the association gave a statement of the total receipts as follows:— GSAM 290.4

The secretary further states: “By a safe estimate of the property of the association, its value is decided to be not less than $20,000 which is nearly $5,000 more than it has cost the friends of the cause. This speaks well for the integrity and faithfulness of Brother White and those who have been associated with him in the Review office. “E. S. Walker, Secretary.” GSAM 291.1
