Our Annual Offering

By W. T. Bland

THE remittances that have come to the office of the General Conference treasury in responses to the call for $50,000 which was begun with the week-of-prayer offering has been most encouraging. Already $29,322.92 has been received, and this amount is being added to daily. While the full amount called for and hoped for may not be realized, yet it will be if all come up to the opportunity offered. An average of only one dollar from every Seventh-day Adventist would more than do it. Already many have done much more than this, a number having sent in as high as one hundred dollars, while others have sent in amounts varying from that down to one dollar. This leads us to believe that many have not yet made their offering. Others have written that they desire to increase the amount they have already given.

Remember, this offering is for our work in foreign fields — the world's great harvest field now ready for the message. Do not all desire a part in this the closing work of the ages? The fund is still open. Shall we not make it the greatest single offering to foreign missions in the history of this denomination? We can do it, and this is the opportunity.

Send your remittances to your State tract society, or to the treasurer of the General Conference, 222 North Capitol St., Washington, D. C.
