MISSIONARY CAMPAIGN

New York Conference

A GOOD interest is being manifested in the campaign work throughout the conference. Many have not yet received their supplies, not having ordered in time to begin work with the month of November.

Some churches took hold well in the matter of getting all to take the REVIEW. One librarian sent in a list covering the entire church, some with longer and some with shorter subscriptions.

Every family should have the REVIEW. The campaign will not be begun right unless the REVIEW visits the home of every campaigner.

At one small company I recently visited, two aged followers of the Lord were ready to unite with the church. Their attention was first called to the truth by reading “Bible Readings.” All the circumstances connected with ordering it and with its delivery were very vivid in their minds. I am sure that in the kingdom, if they and the one selling them the book are faithful, they will recognize the man who brought them the book. Thus after many days the fruit appears. It is the seed-sowers God is looking for even now at the eleventh hour.

The church at Buffalo used six hundred and fifty copies of the first issue of the special Signs. Fine lists of orders for single copies to be sent are being sent in. One pastor, not connected with us as a people, near Schenectady, ordered two hundred and fifty copies of the Signs sent him at three different places where he was to visit. He expected to dispose of them himself.

The church-school children at Rome have undertaken to dispose of a club of twenty-five copies of Life and Health.

Thus the good work is beginning in our part of the field. We are expecting good things at the hand of the Lord as we further work for him.
