Another Reminder

By Editor

WE wish to remind our brethren and our sisters again of the midsummer offering for our mission work, which will be taken on Sabbath, July 2. As the calls for help in other fields increase in number and urgency, it becomes necessary to lay the situation before our people, and to give them the opportunity of responding to these providential calls, and thus to bear a share in the work of preparation for the coming of the Lord.

We are glad that there are so many openings for giving the message, and so many demands for new enterprises to be established, that we are compelled to make frequent and earnest calls for means, and we are thankful for the spirit in which these calls are received, and the hearty response which is made to them. Surely there is a revival of confidence among this people that the message will yet be given in this generation, and that the end will come in our day.

A special reading will be prepared and sent out to be read in the churches on Sabbath, June 25, a week before the offering will be taken. This will give a little time in which to consider the facts presented, and to decide how liberal a response can consistently be made to this particular appeal. In the meantime let all remember that the time of the regular midsummer offering is just at hand, and let all give prayerful consideration to the fact that there will be the greatest difficulty in meeting the pressing demands upon our mission treasury unless this offering provides a substantial sum.

Shall our mission work be extended into new fields? Shall the work be pushed with vigor in the fields already entered? You will vote on these questions on July 2. A liberal offering is a vote in the affirmative.
