The Next Thirteenth Sabbath Offering, June 27, 1914

By Mrs. L. Flora Plummer

AGAIN the General Conference Committee has taken action, making request of the Sabbath schools. It was voted by the committee in council as follows:—

“That we request the Sabbath schools to devote the offering for the thirteenth Sabbath, June 27, 1914, to the work of the Japan Mission, aiming at the sum of fifteen thousand dollars, which is required to provide the appropriations for that great field for an entire year.”

Only a few years ago it seems—though possibly it may be fifteen or sixteen years—the Sabbath schools raised ten thousand dollars as a fund for the real opening of our work in India. When the schools did this for missions within one year, we hailed the achievement with joy. Now, think of it! The committee has asked the schools to raise fifteen thousand dollars in one day’s offering, to support the growing work in Japan for one entire year. Surely the Lord is enlarging the capacity of the Sabbath school organization to keep pace with the ever-enlarging demands in the closing work.
