One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollar Fund

For Special Work at Home and Abroad

A United Effort

As we draw near the close of the year 1907, it becomes more and more evident each day that it will take a determined and united effort to raise the remainder of the $150,000 fund by that date. It seems perfectly clear that every conference and every individual, no matter what has already been done, should stand ready to help if able to do so. The Georgia Conference has passed its apportionment by nearly $100. The president writes as follows: “I well remember that when the matter was first mentioned to me, my first thought was, We can never raise here the amount that is required of us. Again I said, God is in this work, and he does not require impossibilities. And God be praised, the money that was required was raised, and more.

“At our camp-meeting —— came and made another pull. I told him, before he came, that we had already raised our share; but if he desired to come and try, I would help him all I could.

“He made a few remarks, and then I made another plea, and the money came in, with pledges, to the amount of about $75.

The president of the North Carolina Conference writes: “I will say that though a star now adorns our name in the list of States, we are not ceasing to press the work at every reasonable opportunity. I am glad to give assurance of our continued interest, energy, and attention to this, until the people shall be restrained from giving.”
