What Will It Cost?

By G. B. Thompson

WHAT will what cost? — Why, to make the Thanksgiving Ingathering week in behalf of our foreign mission work a success, and gather in a large sum to extend our work.

It will not cost us money, for even the special number of the REVIEW to be used during this week will be mailed to you only in as large quantities as you wish, free. You can have all of them for nothing that you will use as directed. Then what will it cost us? — Simply this: Exertion, — some real good, faithful work for God in behalf of millions of souls yet unwarned. It will cost us this, nothing more. Surely every person who loves this truth, and longs to see it triumph, should be willing to take many copies of this splendid special number, and go among his friends and neighbors, give them a copy, and solicit from them a liberal contribution for the advancement of our mission work in other lands—the last work of God on earth in behalf of sinners. If this work is faithfully and energetically done, it will bring in a large sum for the Lord’s work. Feeble efforts in this direction will indicate a waning spirituality.

The time, November 22-28, is drawing on, and it is none too soon for church and conference officers to begin the work of organizing for the campaign. As perfect an organization for work as possible should be perfected by the officers in every church, that when the time comes all can spring into action, and see an excellent work wrought for the Lord.

As we have seen the enthusiasm manifested in the various camp-meetings in reference to this matter, we have faith to believe that our people intend to take hold of this work with a will.
