The Harvest Ingathering

By W. T. Knox

A LETTER just received from the Pacific Press states that their large rotary press has been taken off all regular work, and is now devoted entirely to producing the special number of the Signs of the Times for the Harvest Ingathering campaign. This means an early and ample supply of that special number sufficient to meet all orders for the paper. Every precaution has been taken by the brethren of the General Conference Committee and the Pacific Press to guard against disappointment or delay in the coming campaign, and before many days 500,000 copies of the paper will have been printed and packed ready for the orders expected from the churches and conferences.
What has been done in your conference and church for this campaign? Have definite arrangements been made for the work? Has your order for papers and supplies been sent in?
Last year the General Conference treasury was confronted by a real and serious financial crisis, a crisis that for that year hindered and crippled the foreign mission work of the denomination. The Harvest Ingathering campaign greatly relieved the pressure, bringing to the treasury over $30,000 above all the expenses of the production of the paper, etc. While the financial condition of the treasury is not so serious this year as in 1910, yet we are confronted with a very considerable deficit, and workers under appointment to foreign mission fields are being held back for lack of funds. For relief of this situation, we are placing our hopes upon the campaign so near at hand. Let all plan to make this a record-breaking campaign. If they have not already done so, churches should organize at once for the work. No time should be lost in determining what supplies will be needed, and placing with the tract and missionary societies the necessary orders. Let us plan for a large work, and act accordingly.
W. T. KNOX, Treasurer.
