Plan to Finance Movement.
The plan adopted to finance the move
ment is as follows:
l. A guarantee fund of $4,000 is to
be secured by pledges. No one has
ever been asked to pay anything upon
I these pledges in the fifty or more cities
where campaigns have been held.
| O. Cash subscriptions Of $4,000 are
asked to meet bills for lumber and pay
rolls for labor. as the erection Of the
| tabernacle progresses, the preparatory
| work and other items needing immedi-
ate payment.
| g. These cash donations. with the
| ,fferings taken at the tabernacle. have
! always secured the necessary funds to
! meet every expense in the first few
| weeks of the campaign. When suf-
| 1cient funds have been collected at
| hese meetings to satisfy all obliga-
| ions no further offerings will be
| aiken.
T, Small Amounts From Many Asked.
Pledges in small amounts from many
persons are preferred to large gifts
| from the few. Subscriptions of 81 or
more for each attendant are desired.
! Contributions from persons in sympa-
! thy with this movement are also so
| licited and may be sent to John c.
| Let's treasurer. SOL Washington Loan
