Offerings for Missions
By N. P. Nelson
WHAT is the greatest and most important theme to be brought before the world at the present time? Is it not the proclamation of the everlasting gospel in this generation? This indicates that we have no time to lose. But the question is, How shall I be able to help in the promulgation of this message? or will the Lord excuse me because I can not go in person to a foreign land?—No, by no means; the Lord says that he has given to every man a work. Facilities are within reach with which the weakest may have a part in this glorious work. It is a marvel what facilities the Lord has placed in the hands of his people with which to accomplish this work in a short time. We are glad to know that the living preacher has now gone to nearly every civilized country in the world. Believers in the soon-coming Saviour are being raised up everywhere, but still we hear the “Macedonian cry” for more workers. Thanks be to God for our colleges and academies which are educating and preparing young men and women, who are willing to sacrifice home, to go out to proclaim this last message. So a way has been provided by which those who are so situated that they can not go in person may have a part. This way is by systematically giving ten cents each week to help defray the expenses of those who can go. Dear brethren and sisters, how do you look upon this most important work? Are you willing and ready to place your ten cents each week in the Lord’s treasury? O brethren, let us awake out of this lethargy that has taken such a hold upon many of our people. We all want to hear the “Well done” said to us when the Lord comes to call his people. So shall we not all take hold of this plan to support laborers in foreign lands?
