Midsummer Offering for Missions
NEXT Sabbath, July 4, is the time of the regular Midsummer Offering for missions. We trust that in every church this offering will be remembered, and that the isolated ones and those not having the privilege of attending the public service may send in their gifts to the church treasurer to swell the fund so urgently needed in the mission fields. The Mission Board depends upon this Midsummer Offering as a special lift in the midsummer, when regular gifts are not so large usually as in the autumn of the year. The fields are continually calling for more help, and the results achieved thus far are truly an incentive to liberal missionary giving. The Mission Board has sent a program of readings for the occasion to church elders and conference laborers. A NOTE from Elder Stemple White, of Minneapolis, speaks of the splendid camp meeting recently held in Minnesota, fifty-one being baptized in the Mississippi River. Brother White adds: “Our conference is prospering, and we wish to do our part in the closing work of God.”
