Saving for Gospel Missions
Those who love the service of the Lord and have a desire to assist in the extension of the gospel work are able to devise many ways and means whereby to secure something to give to the needy cause of missions. One of our sisters writes of saving money by denying herself special table delicacies of which she is very fond. In this way she saved during one week the sum of sixty cents without depriving herself of the necessities of life, but only some of the luxuries. Others perhaps could not economize in this way, but might find other ways. There are many Seventh-day Adventists who, by cutting down useless expenditures, could not only save money for the cause of missions, but benefit themselves physically and spiritually. How much money is spent for candy, chewing-gum, etc., things which do no good, but are positively injurious! If the means wasted in these ways were given to gospel work, the mission treasury would be augmented by several thousand dollars every year.
