The $300,000 Fund

By W. T. KNOX

THE report of the $300,000 Fund that appears in this issue of the REVIEW will be of interest to many, as it shows that the stream of money which is to enable us to supply our missionaries in foreign lands with comfortable homes has begun to flow into the treasury in a promising manner. A number of the conferences sent in quite encouraging amounts during the month of June. It is hoped that their example will be followed by all, and that this summer will see a large portion of the $300,000 Fund supplied, as it is desired to distribute this fall a considerable amount to the various fields that are to be benefited.

While in attendance at one of our recent camp-meetings, the writer had an opportunity of witnessing the favor with which our people look upon this movement. As the needs of the work were presented, and the imperative demand for homes for the workers was held before the brethren, they all seemed possessed with a great desire to see the needed homes erected. With the exercise of but a little imagination, one could, in the enthusiasm of the meeting, almost see the bungalows in India, China, and other lands arising as the brethren heartily responded to the appeal for help. With not more than two hundred fifty persons in attendance, almost $2,000 was raised.

Good reports continue to be received from many conferences of the success of the movement, and the hearts of our brethren in foreign fields are being cheered by these, as they see the promise of an early fulfilment of their long-deferred hopes.
