A Word About the Self-Denial Boxes

By C. P. Bollman

FOR several years self-denial boxes have been sent to a number of people who have not requested them. The same is true this year. This is done because of the following words from Sister White:—

“Many should become interested in the work of placing these boxes in homes. Ask old and young to aid in the work for the colored people by placing these boxes in every home possible. A blessing will surely follow the gifts of self-denial thus brought to the Master.”

If, therefore, you receive a self-denial box without having ordered it, know that it comes to you as an invitation to join the ranks of those who are using these boxes to raise money for the colored mission schools. The contents of these boxes should be sent monthly or quarterly to the Southern Missionary Society, Madison, Tenn., either direct or through the regular channels. If money is sent through the regular channels, be sure your church treasurer understands that it is for the colored mission schools operated by the Southern Missionary Society. It is not enough to say that it is for the work in the South.

C. P. BOLLMAN, Secretary Southern Missionary Society.
