Worthy of Imitation

By N. Z. T.

WRITING to the Publishing Department of the appointment of Brother C. M. Everest as missionary secretary of the Minnesota Conference, Elder R. A. Underwood says:— “He is taking hold of this work with a good deal of earnestness, and expects to pursue a systematic effort throughout the conference to arouse the churches to active missionary work. His first work, after having had a talk with me over the matter, was to make an effort to get every Sabbath-keeping family in the conference to take the REVIEW as a foundation. He began one week ago in the English church in Minneapolis, and during the week he secured about thirty-six subscriptions, just about doubling the number of subscriptions in the church. In one week’s time, through the co-operation of Elder D. C. Babcock, he has secured the subscription of every member of the Duluth church. He will visit St. Paul next, and then perhaps will undertake a general campaign of the State. In connection with this, he will try to organize missionary efforts in various lines, and encourage the brethren to raise their quota for foreign missions each week.”

Brother Everest is certainly laying a “good foundation” for the missionary work in his conference, and we trust that many other conferences will follow his good example. N. Z. T.
