_Quarterly Report of the Mission Funds_

By W. T. Knox

BEGINNING on this page appears a statement of the donations to the Ten-cent-a-week Fund for the first quarter of the year 1910. The report is quite complete, and will show what has been accomplished by all the conferences. Taken altogether, it is a very encouraging showing, and without doubt represents many sacrifices on the part of the people of God, none of which have passed unnoticed by our Heavenly Father, and he alone knows the results that will be attained in the saving of precious souls for his kingdom.

This report is of special interest, taken in connection with the General Conference Council just closed. At this meeting there were presented from the mission fields many urgent calls for additional help. These were all given consideration and provided for to the extent of the Committee’s ability to find the necessary laborers and means.

The appropriation to foreign missions for 1910 is by far the largest in the history of the denomination. When finally adjusted to the increased demands for laborers, it will mean something over three hundred thousand dollars. This, with the year’s appropriation from the $300,000 Fund for institutional development and homes for our workers, will, without doubt, give a great impetus to the message in other lands.

The successful carrying forward of the progressive plans that have been devised must depend upon the individual effort and devotion of the members of the denomination. Upon this those at the General Conference Office are depending, and it will constantly be our aim to give full information concerning the needs and progress of the work, in order that the people may intelligently donate of their substance.
