Our Growth in Forty Years

By Walter L. Burgan

ON another page of this REVIEW AND HERALD is an interesting report of the growth of the denomination in missionary endeavor. This article, which has been carefully compiled by Brother H. E. Rogers, the statistical secretary of the General Conference, should be read in every family as well as in every church, as the remarkable figures in it will encourage our people with the thought that the hand of God has been guiding mightily in the progress of his work.

We want to suggest to every church elder to give this report to his home newspaper, and thus bring to the attention of its readers these facts. Large extracts from this report were gladly published by editors of three of the Washington newspapers, and readers were surprised over the progress our church has made. This report, given to the world through the newspapers, will set honest souls to thinking. Scores of persons have already accepted the truth through having first read of our message in the secular press, and we should always bear in mind that this agency reaches people who have never heard of the work the Lord is doing through his servants.
