The Midsummer Offering

By I. H. Evans

SABBATH, July 3, is the day when the midsummer offering is to be taken. Will not each one who reads these lines make an offering to the Lord for the relief of the shortage of funds in the mission treasury? Some can give much, others can give considerable, and surely but few will think it fit to do nothing at all on this occasion when there is such great need of funds. A letter from Korea, just received, says that in two companies, sixty have begun keeping the Sabbath, and that wherever the workers go, an interest springs up to hear the truth. They plead for more workers. Not a dollar has been sent a mission station for the month of June, because of a lack of funds. The harvest is white. Doors everywhere are open to the reapers. The Macedonian cry comes from many a land. The hour of God's providence seems to call his people to “arise and finish the work.” Our means and prayers and all our service should be used to accomplish the will and work of God. Remember the offering.
