Encouraging Omens in the Harvest Ingathering

By T. E. Bowen

TWENTY-FIVE conferences had ordered more Harvest Ingathering Signs by October 6 than they used during the entire campaign last year. On that date the Pacific Press had mailed 130,000 more papers than had been ordered at that time last year. Including 77,577 foreign papers used, 669,719 copies have been ordered thus far this year.

This speaks in strong terms of a deeper and stronger determination than ever before on the part of all our people to improve this golden opportunity to work for God.

And why should it not be so? Every indication points to the fact that just now, here in the homeland, special privileges are granted us that many of our brethren and sisters in countries across the sea would consider very precious indeed.

Letters received from conference officials tell of the splendid interest being taken by the churches in going out with the Missions special. There is a spirit of continuing at it until definite results are obtained, that is very encouraging.

Last week one day was spent with good results by the General Conference and Review and Herald workers, also by the teachers and students of the College. It is planned to do still more.

This is God's work, the waiting mission fields appeal loudly for help, and all, young and old, can have part in this service. Let us all join in the good work. T. E. BOWEN.
