Attention!

By I. H. EVANS

THOSE who are making contributions for the work in the South are requested to send with them a careful statement with regard to which branch of the work they desire their gifts to go.

There is the Southern Union Conference, which has charge of the work in the South, and which is our denominational representative in that field. They have specific charge of the work in all the Southern States belonging to their union conference, and foster and encourage every branch.

Then, there is the Southern Missionary Society, which is an organization for the building up of the work among the colored people. Its mission is to establish schools for the colored people, and to assist in the erection of churches, etc. All donations intended for the Southern Missionary Society should be specified.

All donations coming into our office marked “for the work in the South” will go to the Southern Union Conference, and it will distribute them throughout the field, as in its judgment seems wise, for supporting each and every branch of the work.

We wish our friends would be very careful when they make remittances to specify for which branch of the work they desire their gifts to go, and our office will endeavor to adhere strictly to the instructions. We trust that in the future there will be no misunderstandings with regard to contributions which are so kindly given for this work. The gifts that are raised through the self-denial boxes, should be designated “to the Southern Missionary Society.”

I. H. EVANS, General Conference Treasurer.
