Our Duty

THIS denomination is now engaged in the greatest missionary campaign which it has ever undertaken. Definite plans have been laid for appraising the people of the United States, and indeed of some of the foreign countries, of the missionary enterprise of this people. It is planned not only to instruct hundreds of thousands, but to raise a large sum of money for the maintenance of our gospel workers, and for the extension of missionary enterprises in heathen lands. Here is a work in which old and young can most heartily engage.

Inasmuch as the one purpose of our schools is to qualify efficient gospel workers, and inasmuch as we learn best by doing, here is one of the most valuable opportunities to impart lessons of inestimable worth to the children and young people in all our schools. As teachers, we must not shirk responsibility, its faithful discharge gives to us added strength for greater service. We must be wide-awake to assist in every practical way in the finishing of this work; for the finishing of this work should be to us the most real and intensely interesting occupation with which we are connected. Our great school organization can by proper effort circulate thousands upon thousands of the missionary REVIEW, and derive a vitality and power from so doing which will be of inestimable value. Here is our opportunity; let us heartily embrace it.
