The Practical Working of a Good Plan
By W. A. Colcord
COLLEGE VIEW, NEB., Jan. 26, 1904. DEAR BROTHER: Our First-day offerings in the College View church during the first seven months of 1903 amounted to only $18.52. During the last five months of the year, or from the time we adopted the ten-cent-a-week envelope plan, our weekly offerings amounted to $343.18. In other words, the result is hundreds of dollars under the new plan, against almost nothing under the old. I think this speaks well for the systematic ten-cent-a-week plan, especially when the use of the little envelopes is adopted, as we have adopted them here,—placed them in little pockets on the backs of the seats, so that everybody can get one without fail every time he comes to church.
