| Received for additional material | 300.00 |
| Received on book fund | 1,355.00 |
| Received for power-press and engine | 2,500.00 |
| Total | $15,229.13 |
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
