The Missions Campaign

By T. E. BOWEN

Two conferences at the close of the year win out on their portion of the $100,000 Harvest Ingathering goal to missions — Iowa and District of Columbia. Iowa is the first large conference to be listed. For this we are particularly thankful, as no one hereafter can limit this accomplishment to small conferences only.

The 1914 roll, as completed, stands as follows: —

Newfoundland, October 14. Maritime, October 22. Quebec, November 11. Ontario, November 26. East. Canadian Union, November 26. Mississippi, November 28. Nevada Mission, December 10. Northern California, December 15. Maine, December 17. Saskatchewan (date not given). Iowa, December 31. District of Columbia, December 31.

Eleven conferences on the roll this year as against four last — a gain of seven.

Distributed among union conferences, these records belong as follows: the Eastern Canadian, out entire; Southern, Mississippi; Pacific, Nevada Mission field and Northern California; Atlantic, Maine; Western Canadian, Saskatchewan; Northern, Iowa; Columbia, District of Columbia. Only five unions are not represented: Central, Lake, North Pacific, Southeastern, and Southwestern.

This is a good showing indeed, representing much earnest work for God in the gathering of funds for missions. The reward the Master will bestow later; but for the earnest loyalty and cooperation of the entire field, we desire in this closing record of the year to extend to all the hearty appreciation of the Mission Board.
