Missionary Campaign on the Pacific Coast
By H. H. HALL
The Pacific Union Missionary Campaign Committee has been giving careful study to the campaign in our field, and has gotten out a Missionary Campaign Bulletin, telling about the campaign, and to it the following has been added:— Appeal to Those Bearing Responsibilities in the Pacific Union Conference
“DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: From the preceding pages you will notice that we have come to the time of the great missionary campaign planned for by the last General Conference. This means that definite responsibilities must be placed upon men and women in the home churches. In the words of counsel given to Moses, ‘Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.’ You, Brother Church Elder; You, Sister Church Librarian; You, Brother Sabbath-school Teacher, have been selected by virtue of your position in church or Sabbath-school as a leader, and now the Lord appeals to you to unite your forces and march forward. “There are three definite victories to22be gained during the next four weeks. Listen to them:— “1. The placing of the REVIEW AND HERALD in every Sabbath-keeping family. “2. The purchase of at least one pound of the Signs of the Times Leaflets by every Seventh-day Adventist, to be used during the remainder of the campaign. “3. The training of thousands, through this great missionary movement, to become permanent workers in the Lord’s whitening harvest-fields. “These are simple, definite steps. As leaders of our hundreds, fifties, or tens, let us take these steps now. Let this be a movement without a rear column. “Yours in the work,

“Missionary Campaign Committee, P. U. Conference.” Our conferences are taking right hold of this matter, and will send this bulletin to its church and Sabbath-school officers, as well as to its isolated members. By this means it is hoped that all our people may soon become acquainted with this great movement, and may unite heartily in carrying it forward.
