Vermont, Take Notice!

By J. W. WATT

In visiting among our people in Vermont, I find that some evidently do not fully understand the plan for the Southern missionary offerings. The self-denial boxes that have been sent into our State are for special donations for the Southern work, and not for the regular ten-cent-a-week offering for foreign missions. I find that some have placed their regular weekly offerings for missions in these boxes, thinking that the money all went to the same treasury, namely, the foreign missionary fund.

While we are glad to aid the Southern work, and should do so individually to the extent of our ability, yet we think it would be wrong to turn our ten-cent- a-week offerings in that direction, as our laborers in distant countries need our help. As a people we must continually reach out our hands to the world, for we have a world-wide message.

I hope these few words of explanation will enable all our Vermont people to understand where each class of donations should be placed.
