The foregoing sums, in shares and donations, amount in all to $29,821.85, whereas if all the friends of the cause should come up and bear their share, every brother and every sister, according to his or her ability, the sum would amount to not less than $185,000. By the vigilant action of the officers of the Tract and Missionary Societies, and the cheerful co-operation of all the friends of the cause, we doubt not but equality in such offerings to the Lord may soon be seen.AWMW 73.2
And here we invite all who have made donations, as acknowledged in this work, to add to them, so as to receive certificates of stock, from one to fifty shares each. Those who have donated less than ten dollars, can make the sums up to ten, or twenty, or thirty, or more dollars, and receive certificates as the case may be.AWMW 74.1

These figures can be reached by simply drawing off only a little of the surplus means now in the hands of our people, for which they have no real need, for their comfort, or for happiness in this life. This sum can, and will, be reached.AWMW 74.2
