The Missionary Campaign
By Arthur G. Daniells
Beginning November 21, 22. THOSE who are giving most study to the speedy proclamation of the third angel's message are deeply interested in the Home Missionary Campaign. They are exceedingly anxious that all Seventh-day Adventists shall learn about this campaign, that they shall fully understand its meaning, and take part in it with holy zeal. Therefore we must call attention to it repeatedly, and make all its features very plain. There is one thing we earnestly desire, namely, that every minister in the denomination shall enter heartily into this movement. The General Conference Committee and presidents of conferences are fully committed to this special effort. We have committed ourselves to it, because we believe it to be the duty of this people at this hour. Now, if I may speak in behalf of the General Conference and the presidents of State conferences, I will earnestly appeal to every minister to take this great movement in upon his heart, to think about it, pray for it, talk it earnestly and courageously to every believer he meets. Let us set our stakes determinedly for a great work this winter. Will you do it, brother? If you will, we shall see a great move. There is another thing that we very much desire, and that is that all our church officers shall take this matter up and place it intelligently, enthusiastically, and perseveringly before the members of their flocks. Let them think of their grave responsibilities, think of the thousands of God's people who are under their influence. Will these officers join the members of the General Conference Committee, the presidents of State conferences, and the ministers, in leading the people of God in this holy service? Will they set the church an example? Will they lead the flocks entrusted to their care? Who will venture to say that when the General Conference Committee, the conference presidents, the ministers, and the church officers of this denomination press this campaign as they should, we shall not see a greater forward movement in home missionary work this winter than we have ever witnessed in this denomination? Dear fellow workers, this must be our experience. Our message calls for this. The hour is ready for it. Our Leader commands it. Let us obey.
