Headed in the Right Direction

By Editor

THE report published in this number by the treasurer of the General Conference, Elder W. T. Knox, shows some most encouraging features. From it we see that there was raised in the North American Division during 1914, in excess of fifteen cents a week per member, one hundred thousand dollars, which will be used by the union conferences to apply on their institutional indebtedness.

This report should be a great encouragement to our workers and to our people throughout the field. It shows that we have turned about and are headed in the right direction. The last year, in place of witnessing an increase in denominational liabilities, witnessed a substantial reduction in our indebtedness. And this road upon which we have entered we should pursue to the joyful end, that of canceling the entire indebtedness of the denomination. We should not stop until every institution and every organization of every character connected with this people is able to sing the song of jubilee and freedom.

What was done during the year 1914 shows what can be done during the present year. Light is breaking, and the darkness is dispersing. While we lift up our heads and rejoice in what has been accomplished, let us follow up the advantage gained to final and complete victory. Let us all stand together, shoulder to shoulder, in the support of the work of God during the year to come.
