And now, brethren, will not those churches which have not finished raislug their qnota do so at once, and those uiat have not yet raised anything, will they not while raising the money to send to the Association set apart the amount asked for Bro. Lawton’s sup port? The amount asked for this is one-fifth of the total amount asked by the Association.
