Help for the South

By J. S. WASHBURN

As we were nearing the last General Conference, a united effort was made to send in donations for the Washington work. Now, as we near the collection for the work for the colored people, we trust there may be the same united effort to lift the work for the colored people out of the deep need into which it has fallen, that it may rise into the light of encouragement and the assurance of success and victory. The regular Southern fund is increasing, though we could wish with much more rapidity.

“The Southern field is right in the shadow of your own doors. It is as land that has had a touch of the plow here and there, and then has been left by the plowman, who has been attracted to some easier or more promising field; but those who work the Southern field must make up their minds to practise self-denial. Those who would aid in this work must also practise self-denial, in order that facilities may be provided whereby the field may be worked.” The day is near at hand when those who help the needy will receive their reward.
