Thanksgiving Week Missionary Campaign

AFTER a presentation at the West Michigan camp-meeting of the plan for the missionary campaign during Thanksgiving week, it was decided to order thirty-five thousand copies of the special number of the REVIEW to be used by the brethren and sisters throughout the conference. This is an average of ten papers for each member in the conference. If all the Sabbath-keepers in the United States should follow the pace thus set, it would mean that about six hundred thousand copies of this paper would be placed in the hands of the people during that week. So far as we know, this is the first definite order for this number of the REVIEW which has been placed with this Office, although we learn that other conferences have adopted the plan with enthusiasm. Only words of encouragement are received at headquarters concerning this movement in behalf of missions, and we have reason to expect a united and hearty effort on the part of all our people to carry the proposed plan into operation. With the Lord’s blessing this missionary campaign may be fruitful in results both in making known this second advent movement and in securing funds for prosecuting it with greater vigor.
