Harvest Ingathering Notes

By A. J. S. Bourdeau

We are acknowledging all orders for the Missions Review by sending the papers themselves.
Everything indicates a great Harvest Ingathering for our missions. What are you doing to help?
Orders for the Missions Review will be filled until December 31. Continue sending your orders.
Up to Thursday noon we had received orders for 234,770 copies of the Missions number of the Review.
If you see that you can not begin work the first day of the first campaign week (November 1-5), plan to begin work the first day of the second campaign week, November 7.
We are filling all orders for campaign supplies as rapidly as possible. Do not feel anxious if either your Missions number of the Review or other supplies are a little late in arriving.
Every missionary visit, canvass, or other experience gained by our people during the great Harvest Ingathering campaign to open November 1, means an increased uplift to our future missionary operations.
Please do not write us that you have not received the “Official Solicitor’s Card” or the “Instruction Leaflet.” They were mailed later than the Missions number in hundreds of cases. You may belong to that class.
We began to mail the “Instruction Leaflet” and the “Official Solicitor’s Card” Thursday, October 14. Many orders for the Missions Review were filled before the other supplies were printed. Those having received only the copies of the Review may look for the leaflets and the cards within a very few days.
As far as possible let every field missionary agent, conference missionary secretary, and book and periodical agent be prepared to assist the officers of our churches in planning for the “preparatory meeting” to be held in each church Sunday, October 31. At that time the printed canvass for the Missions Review will be studied, territory assigned to campaign workers, and other important plans laid.
Brother D. K. Royer, secretary-treasurer of the New Jersey Conference, has apparently gotten the start of us all by securing a check for ten dollars from a Wall Street (New York) business man the morning of the twelfth inst. He says: “I wrote him a letter, telling him I would shortly send him the Missions number of the REVIEW. He replied that he would be glad for the REVIEW. This man is not an Adventist, but I have been keeping in touch with him as I would with others of our isolated people, and secured ten dollars from him for our midsummer offering a few months ago.”
