Notes of Progress

By L. A. Hansen

While no report has been given recently in this column, we can say that the relief campaign work is onward. There are many items of interest and encouragement to be noted. The camp-meeting season just closing has seen material advancement in this movement, details of which will be given later.

By the direction of the General Conference Committee I visited a number of camp-meetings in the Southwestern, Central, and Lake union conferences, besides visiting churches and institutions between points, as opportunity afforded. As viewed from these visits, the outlook for the campaign is good, giving reason to believe that God's blessing is upon this work, and that it has a successful future. Our leaders are giving it their support, and it appeals to our brethren and sisters in general.

While there have been many other interests to demand attention at the camp-meetings, those in charge of them have manifested a willingness to devote time and attention to the proposition of selling “Ministry of Healing,” and they have taken it up as something that is now before us, and must be done. In some places the leaders have set a good pace by ordering a number of books themselves.

A characteristic sentiment is that in the relief campaign we have an opportunity to do missionary work of the highest order. Laying aside the financial considerations of the work, it is worthy of our fullest support. Add to this, however, the fact that the successful completion of this enterprise will mean an income of nearly half a million dollars to our institutions, and we have a proposition that deserves our careful consideration and co-operation.
