Sabbath School Mission Giving

It is a cheering report that comes from the Sabbath School Department. In the first quarter of 1915, $93,581.45 was given by the Sabbath schools for missions. The Sabbath School Worker, summing up the record of gifts for the years, says: “Thus $2,039,048.56 has been deposited by our Sabbath schools in the bank of heaven in a little over twenty-eight years. How we should rejoice that this two millions of dollars has helped so substantially in fulfilling God’s plan of sending the message to ‘every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people.’ We know not how many precious souls will be saved in the kingdom of God as the direct fruit of these freely given dollars. Who could wish that the dollars were fewer in number? Who does not wish they were many times multiplied? But the account is not yet closed. Week by week we may still add to the deposit; and let us give as we would give if it were our boys and girls, our fathers and mothers, our friends and neighbors, who were in heathen lands with no knowledge of the truth that is so dear to us.”
