For some time it has been evident that the Worker thermometer was in peril. The record for three quarters almost reached the mark designated as the goal for the year. The close of the fourth quarter brings a result apparent at a glance. We asked the Sabbath-schools in the United States and Canada to give fifty-two thousand dollars to missions during the year. They responded by giving $70,758.26. The Sabbath-schools in all the world gave to missions during 1908, $94,365.65.
The District of Columbia and Alabama are this quarter added to the list of conferences giving all their Sabbath-school donations to missions. Good old Vermont, the first conference to establish such a record, is still faithful. Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec, Western New York, West Texas, Montana, Alaska, ten in all, complete the honor roll.
In the foreign fields, fifty-eight conferences and mission fields have reached that ideal.
We congratulate our Sabbath-schools everywhere upon this excellent achievement. We believe that everybody is entirely ready for the new rally cry, “A hundred thousand dollars a year to missions from the schools in the United States and Canada!”—Sabbath School Worker for April, 1909.
