By G. W. Wells

In looking over the record of work done in our conference the past few months, I find there is evidence of progress, and we have reason for gratitude to God. His Spirit has gone out before the workers and has rested upon all who have faithfully performed their service for him.
We have had seven tent companies in the field this season, and as a result of these efforts and of other meetings held, there have been about one hundred and sixty persons baptized. This is encouraging, but in view of the passing events, which clearly indicate that we are living in the closing scenes of this world, it seems as if much more should have been accomplished.
There have been strong efforts put forth in scattering the printed page, and the results show that we made a gain of nearly $4,000 over last year’s record for nine months. Our sales this year amount to over $15,000. Adding to this the sales on trade books and tracts increases the totals to $17,641. The magazine sales have come to $4,500, making a grand total of $22,141.
Our churches responded splendidly in the distribution of the REVIEW WAR Extra, and now efforts are being made in the Harvest Ingathering campaign. We are indeed thankful for the spirit of cooperation shown in carrying forward the work in the home field, but glad it is not confined here. Our interest and desire to see the message rapidly spreading to all parts of the earth, has been made manifest by the spirit of liberality in our gifts to missions. We are still a little above the quota mark, and are expecting nothing less than the full amount when the year closes.
The magnitude of the work yet to be done and the nearness of the end should urge us to more earnest consecrated effort, to untiring diligence and unceasing prayer; and then the blessed Holy Spirit will fill our hearts, the work will be finished, and the Lord will come; and for the faithful there will be joy forevermore.
