Sabbath-School Offerings for Missions

MORE than twenty years ago the suggestion was made that the weekly collections made in the Sabbath-schools of this denomination should be devoted to evangelistic work outside of America. The plan was adopted, and during the first year the offerings amounted to something over $16,000. Year by year the donations have steadily increased until in 1907 the total sum thus donated was $71,475.59. This is a practical illustration of a very important principle in raising funds for mission work; namely, that a steady, constant stream of small donations will result in a substantial amount at the close of each year.
