A Cheering Testimony
By Mission Board
THE following cheering letter was recently received from Brother J. G. Lamson, of Holly, Mich. We pass it on to the readers of the REVIEW. It was as follows:— “The missionary reading for the second Sabbath in April was postponed until yesterday, on account of our holding the quarterly meeting the eighth. . . . There was an excellent spirit, and all seemed glad to hear these words of encouragement from the field, and rejoiced that there was this great demand for means at the present time. None of us are able to give what we would like to give, but after considering the ten-cent-a-week plan, it was unanimously voted by the church to adopt this plan, and to endeavor each quarter to have as many dimes ready for the foreign mission work a week as there are members of the church.” “We organized our church the twenty-fifth of March. All our members are alive. . . . The officers of the church have talked it over, and we have decided that we shall endeavor to have ten cents each week for every member of this church from the very day of its organization until the plan is abandoned. We can not promise that this will be true, but it is our aim, and for that purpose we have set ourselves. We shall have no difficulty at present, for all have taken hold of the plan with a will. Even some of the students who are earning small wages, and who desire to save their earnings for schooling next year, have expressed themselves as willing to take hold of this plan. One not a member of the church is going to assist.” Are there not other churches who have had a rich experience, who would be glad to send in a word of hope and encouragement to the readers of the REVIEW?
