Report of the Book Fund for Tract and Book Distribution

BOOK FUND REPORT

SOME more than one year since 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. RBF 1.1

In January, 1868, a call was made for a sum sufficient 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. RBF 1.2

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. RBF 1.3

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: RBF 1.4

1. The sum of $2,370.91 has been received. RBF 1.5

2. The sum given in books is $1,601.39, leaving $769.52 on hand. RBF 1.6

3. Of the above-named books there have 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. RBF 1.7

I am happy to give so encouraging a report of this fund. Of this I am certain, that means have been expended in the circulation of these important works very carefully, and that the matter has been managed in the most judicious manner. RBF 2.1

At the Camp-meeting in Wright, Mich., Sept. 1868, I made the following appeal to the friends of the cause present, which there met the liberal response of pledges to the amount of $1400. RBF 2.2

“Life Incidents, in connection with the great Advent movement, as illustrated by the three angels of Revelation 14. This is the title of a book of 376 pages, the object of which is to set before the people the true position of Seventh-day Adventists. It contains brief sketches of the experience and labors of the author in connection with the Second Advent cause. It gives the important facts relative to the rise and progress of Adventism, the views of William Miller, and presents many points of deep interest relative to the life, Christian experience, and labors of that truly great and good man. In this book is given a comprehensive exposition of the three messages, explaining the past with its disappointments and harmonizing the three divisions of the great Second-Advent movement. RBF 2.3

“The preparation of this book has cost me wearisome thought. And as I have drawn out its plain and pointed lines upon paper with trembling nerve and aching head, I have been impelled to urge the work to its close by a sense of the wants of the people. Especially do the tens of thousands who once cherished the blessed hope, and have fallen back, need this work. I wish to put it into the hands of thousands who are either too poor, or have too little interest in the subjects upon which it treats, to purchase it. RBF 2.4

“Brethren, will you help me in this good work? Turn not away from my appeal; but let it reach your hearts and your pockets. The price of the book is $1.00. But you can have it to give to your unbelieving friends for 75 cents a copy. And you can have it to give to the Lord’s poor, and for general gratuitous distribution, for 60 cents a copy. RBF 2.5

“Again, I wish with my own hands to judiciously give it to thousands, and ask you to give of the Lord’s money in your hands to meet this expense. From the fund that may be raised for this purpose, I shall take only 60 cents a copy for those I give away.” RBF 3.1

On that camp ground I commenced the work of giving 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 excellent work in answer to objections to the visions, and selected packages of fifteen 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. I gave not less than $200 worth in Maine. RBF 3.2

From Sept. 1, 1868, to Jan. 1, 1869, I disposed of about five tons of our publications at the several camp, and other general, meetings held by us in Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, and Ohio. Under the circumstances the work of free distribution has necessarily been hastily and imperfectly done. Care 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. RBF 3.3

Relative to the prices of these works for gratuitous distribution, I am happy to report that bound books of about 400 pages can be furnished from large editions for 60 cents a copy. And our tracts can also be afforded for gratuitous distribution at the rate of 1600 pages for $1.00. Pamphlets will be furnished at corresponding prices. Whether purchased by our brethren for free distribution, or charged to the fund, these are the prices of these works. There are no publishing houses in the United States that furnish books and tracts at these 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. RBF 4.1

The truth must be proclaimed. The number of our efficient preachers is small, and much must be done through our publications. Does God call men to sacrifice 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 the Association will issue publications at cost. Those who circulate them will bear their part in this work of sacrifice in 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. RBF 4.2

A certain minister was appealing to a congregation for money to send to a Christian missionary in a foreign 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. RBF 5.1

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 enterprise, and when they see it managed by men who have a heart in it, they will most cheerfully give of their means. RBF 5.2

Since last September there have been sold or given, Life Incidents 4000 copies, Review to Objection to the Visions 4000, Law and Gospel 30,000, God’s Memorial 30,000, Little Will 4000, besides many thousands of packages of tracts and other works, and all that has been given and charged to the fund at the low rates aforesaid is less than $1000. RBF 5.3

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. RBF 5.4

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 have ordered a large amount of book paper, which must be paid for immediately. Those who would assist us in the work, will please pay their pledges soon. The sooner the better. RBF 5.5

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. RBF 6.1

It has been at General Meetings, when I had much labor and care upon my hands, that I have received pledges for the book and tract fund, and have taken money. Without doubt many mistakes have occurred. I wish here to state: RBF 6.2

1. Brethren, be liberal in this work. If you are certain that I have put your figures too high, put them lower. If not, let them remain. RBF 6.3

2. And you who are dissatisfied with your small figures should raise them liberally higher. RBF 6.4

3. All who receive this report should promptly respond to its call. If you have done your duty, please call the attention of others to it, and do all you can to urge on this good work. RBF 6.5

4. Some may have donated whose names are not on this report. And many who should have their names on it, represented by a liberal sum, are not here. Send us all the names and as large donations as you can. RBF 6.6

5. Doubtless some have paid, who are not marked paid. All mistakes will be promptly corrected when pointed out. RBF 6.7

6. And the sooner all pledges are paid the better. RBF 6.8

All communications relative to this fund may be addressed to ELD. JAMES WHITE, Battle Creek, Mich. RBF 6.9
