The Work Before Us

In planning for the missionary campaign, the General Conference, as well as the missionary committee, has outlined only such lines of work as may and should be carried on continuously. Notice how simple they are:—

1. The placing of the REVIEW AND HERALD in every Sabbath-keeping home in the United States.

2. The liberal circulation of message-filled tracts by every Seventh-day Adventist, using a pound of the Signs of the Times Leaflets (about eighteen tracts of each) as an entering wedge.

3. A general campaign in behalf of our missionary periodicals, The Signs of the Times, Watchman, Life and Health, and our foreign papers.

4. The development of the interest created by the sale of forty-per-cent books and the relief books, “Christ’s Object Lessons,” “Ministry of Healing,” and “Story of Joseph.”

5. All these lines of work to be followed by Bible readings, cottage meetings, missionary correspondence, etc.

There has been an encouraging response to the summons to service in this campaign, but none should become weary in well-doing. “A great work is to be done, and this work is entrusted to those who know the truth for this time.” If each one does his part, this “great work” can be quickly finished.
