A Good Preparation for a Great Work

By Arthur Grosvenor Daniells

ALL arrangements for the Thanksgiving campaign work are now completed, and this is the last opportunity we shall have to say a word through the REVIEW regarding this important work:
At this writing we have received orders for four hundred thousand copies of the REVIEW, and they are still pouring in. We have increased our order to the Review and Herald Publishing Association to five hundred thousand. Every day wagon-loads of the Thanksgiving number are being taken to the post-office.
Besides getting this good number of the REVIEW out at an early date, many letters have been written to conference and church officers, to ministers and to the leaders in our educational, medical, publishing, Sabbath-school, religious liberty, and young people's work. An excellent and timely appeal from Sister White has been sent to all our churches. Many stirring articles have appeared in our union and local conference papers.
At the General Conference Office we have done all that we have known how to do to make this Thanksgiving effort a real success. Many prayers have been offered to our Father in heaven for the success of this plan; and we should all continue to pray the Lord to give us special help.
While all should be very earnest in their endeavors to place this number in the hands of the people, and to secure gifts to missions, all should be careful not to annoy any one. Let all pray continually for wisdom to know just what to do in every case. Let all be modest and courteous, that a good impression may be left. We want all who get the paper, and who contribute, to feel blessed thereby.
We solicit reports from all who meet with special favors and experiences. Send them to D. W. Reavis, Takoma Park, D. C.
And now may the presence of the Lord be with his people to give them abundant success.
A. G. DANIELLS.
