pICSSIO1S maze from time to time. In
the Society's meetings. In 1888 the
Society recommended the establish
ment OF Anti-Slavery Libraries, and
the Committee engaged in the work
but they have found it impossible so
to conduct the matter as to prevent
loss. The pecuniary embarrass-
ments Of the times have affected the
operations of the Society, as they
have those Of other societies, and the
business operations of community
generally.
The Committee are personally respon-
sable for these debts ofthe Society; the
payment Of them IS Immediately and ar
gently demanded, and s0e look to the ab-
olitionists Of Vermont for prompt relief
NTH the almost confidence that we shall
not bedisappointed. Should any plead
the scarcity Of money, so long as
they can obtain it to pay their own
most pressing and honorable debts,
let such remember that their honor
and their interest are both pledged to
meet this debt Of The Anti- Slavery So
ciety. Have we not promised to use
all means sanctioned by law, human
| ity and religion, for the redemption
of the slave? Let us consider then
how much we owe him pining still
in his bondage, and pointing to our
solemn pledge to use the utmost of
our ability in his behalf. The scarcity
ofmoney IS the gerry reason ,oAy '0e should
make an extraordinary effort to raise 1t.
You surely will not oblige the few,
who, in addition to their full share Of
| the pecunia1y responsibilities of the
cause, have performed all their la
bors as Committee without the least
}pecuniary compensation, to draw
the money from their own already
exhausted pockets, for the payment
of these debts-debts which were
contracted in your behalf, by your
n Il 4
your cause.

point. We are confident we need
but acquaint you with the wants of
the cause, to induce you to afford
timely and sufficient aid. We sag
