PRESENT, PRESSING NEED.
By I. D. Van Horn
THERE is a very pressing want in the North Pacific Conference at the present time that should be known by all our people. This great need is means to carry on the T. and M. work: The State Secretary has on hand a large supply of tracts of almost every kind, tracts on health and temperance as well as others, which if our people would purchase, and pay for them would relieve us much. But each district I suppose does not order because the demands are not great, for not one-tenth is being done in the church T. and M. societies that might be. Now to relieve our present indebtedness at the Signs Office which they are calling for, and have a present demand for, let me propose to each and all of our people, every brother, sister, and child who loves the precious present truth, to donate from one to five dollars each to the Conference T. and M. fund this present quarter. Do it at once at the beginning of the quarter. Where there are churches of our people, let each one pay to the librarian, or elder, or clerk, and let them send by money order or registered letter, to the Conference Secretary, Mrs. A. P. Van Horn, Beaverton, Oregon. Let all the scattered ones who have a heart and cheerful willingness to lift in this direction, send in their offerings. Come brethren and friends rally to the work and by your sacrifices show your faith in the great and glorious work of God in these last days. The cause of God has claims upon you which you should not throw off. Precious souls are appealing to you for help. Hear their cry and place within their reach the light that has made your own heart glad, and which will be a means of salvation if followed to the end.
