    Status of Publishing the Review

    In vision Ellen White had been shown that “James must lay his hand to the work and strive to open the way,” and if the way opened he must stay by and publish (Letter 4, 1851). In Saratoga Springs the way had opened to publish, and James White, in the last issue of volume 2 of the Review, made a statement regarding finances:1BIO 229.1

    We would say that $150 was raised at the Camden Conference, June, 1851, to commence the present volume. This sum, with the receipts since that time, will only pay for this volume.—Ibid.1BIO 229.2

    He pleaded for financial support, not large gifts but “each having the pleasure of doing something, and sharing the blessing, instead of a few freehearted souls doing the whole.” He continued:1BIO 229.3

    In fact, we cannot see how the paper can benefit such as are not ready to make an effort to sustain it. We cheerfully send the paper free of charge, and shall continue to do so, and hope these remarks will lead all who profess to believe and love the present truth to act their part in sustaining the publication of the paper and books.—Ibid.1BIO 229.4

    He thought the next issue would appear in May; he solicited “matter for the paper, either original or selected,” and called on all to be free to write.1BIO 229.5
