Liberal Mission Offerings in Ohio

A NOTE from Elder B. G. Wilkinson, president of the Columbia Union Conference, tells of the very liberal response made by our brethren in Ohio to the call for mission offerings. He says: “In response to our call the brethren at the camp laid on the altar in cash and pledges $11,000. Five men gave $500 each, several $250 each, and many $100 each. Others laid on the altar houses and lots, thoroughbred horses, etc. The blessing and power of the Lord rested upon the camp. This was Ohio’s response to the emergency call growing out of the European situation.” Elder A. R. Sandborn, president of the New Jersey Conference, writes similarly of the hearty response made by some of the churches in that field in an effort to bring up their mission offerings to the full quota, and we learn from other fields that the same spirit is working. When men give themselves to God, the giving of their possessions will follow as a natural consequence.
