We Want More Letters Like This

By Mrs. B. C. Haark

[THE following letter, which explains itself, has been handed to the REVIEW by Mrs. L. Flora Plummer, secretary of the Sabbath-school Department of the General Conference.—ED.]

“JAMESTOWN, N. D., — —. “Sabbath School Department, “Takoma Park Station, “Washington, D. C.”

“DEAR SISTER PLUMMER: Enclosed you will find twenty-five cents, for which please send me six birthday cards. I would like to get them this week if it is possible; for one of the little boys in my class is going to put in his offering next Sabbath, and I want to have a card to give him. Last Sabbath Brother Hayward gave us a talk on our work in other lands, and I followed it by making a plea for larger donations, and one of the ways I suggested was by birthday offerings. The idea took well, and the children were especially pleased. When I had finished talking, I dropped a quarter into the box, as it was my twenty-fourth birthday; thus the good work was started in our Sabbath-school. I was pleased when one old lady arose and said that each one should bring two extra pennies,—one to grow on and the other to be good on. Perhaps it wouldn’t be such a bad idea.

“Yours in the work I love, “MRS. B. C. HAARK.”
