A Pleasing Incident

By I. H. Evans

The friends of the third angel’s message are continually making sacrifices for the cause of God. Many of them are giving the widow’s mite, and Heaven must indeed be pleased with the sacrifices they are making.

The One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollar Fund is not yet complete. About ten thousand dollars is still lacking, and this could be made up in a single month if every one would make a little donation. Why should this fund linger on month after month? Would it not be better for us to close it at once?

We received a note the other day, signed “A Friend,” which reads as follows:—

I feel that I must tell you of a little incident. An aged sister who is cared for by our church came into the office the other day, and said (handing out the money), “Here is my share of the One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollar Fund. The Lord has helped me in selling my papers, and I now have it all.” I believe this sister is singing the “Song of Jubilee.” Would that more who are better able would do the same.

This sister sold Life and Health so that she could pay her portion. This has been a great blessing to her spiritually, and her example has proved a source of encouragement to her friends. Many others could do likewise.
