Three Days’ Harvest Ingathering

By Wm. Covert.

RECENTLY Brother A. C. Park and I devoted three days to soliciting in the vicinity of Viola, Ill., in the interest of our foreign missionary work. Having nearly one hundred papers left over from last year’s campaign, we concluded to distribute these, before the papers for this year came out.

During the three days’ work we made about 120 calls and succeeded in getting 93 contributions which amounted to $51.75. The money was cheerfully given by members of various denominations and persons of no church connection. The effort demonstrated the fact that persons not of our denomination are ready to join with us in raising money to meet the expense of giving the third angel’s message to the world. We also proved that we can get money at other than the regular appointed time.

I believe our people should use one million papers during our next campaign. The papers are doing much good and the money gathered will help while the missionary visits will be a great blessing to those who work and also to those who are judiciously visited. WM. COVERT.
