A Last Word

By A. G. Daniells

THIS is the last word our good, faithful friend and counselor, the REVIEW, will be permitted to say in behalf of the offering for missions which is to be taken on Sabbath, July 4.

Sabbath morning, July 4, will be the last opportunity that ministers and church elders will have to speak in behalf of that offering.

Before the sun sets on Sabbath, July 4, will be the last public opportunity we shall all have to contribute to that offering.

Whether this fourth-of-July offering shall be large, medium, or small, depends entirely upon the faithfulness of these three factors,—the REVIEW, the ministers and church elders, and the people

The time for proving faithful in this matter is limited. With the setting of the sun on Sabbath, July 4, this opportunity will have passed forever; and our record will have been entered in those books out of which we shall be judged.

When the Master comes, we shall each want him to say to us, “Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things.” But our Lord can truthfully and honestly say that only to those who have been faithful. Who, then, will be faithful in this fourth-of-July offering to missions?
