Important to Remember

By W. A. S.

It comes natural enough to pray for the gospel workers, and for the white-unto-harvest fields. The secretary of the Congregational Board recently called the attention of that people to the need for specific prayer in behalf of another factor. He wrote:—

Will you who read these words remember our treasury in your prayers?

It is one subject of prayer too liable to be forgotten, while we remember readily the more interesting, but not more important, features of the missionary cause. The mission treasury needs the prayers of the believers. In and out comes and goes the supply of means that is essential in prosecuting the work.

Thus far it has seemed like the widow’s barrel of meal and cruse of oil,—threatening to give out with the demands upon it, but somehow supplying just a little more. The year 1909 opens with the most encouraging outlook in the fields that we have ever seen, and with the promise of the loudest calls for enlargement and expansion that have ever come to the ears of this people. Well may we be admonished to pray for the mission treasury. W. A. S.
