Harvest Ingathering and War in Roumania

By Editor

From every quarter good reports come of the progress of the Harvest Ingathering campaign. We are glad that this is a campaign in which young and old may engage. A young sister in Iowa writes that she worked only two days, and gathered more than fifteen dollars. Doubtless many others could bear similar testimony as to the good results of their visits to friends and neighbors. We earnestly hope that every member of the church will have a part in the Harvest Ingathering work, both for the personal benefit which would be received and for the help it would give others. The blessing of God acts and reacts upon the one who seeks to give, as well as upon the subject of labor.

By the entry of Roumania into the war, and the extension of the zone of conflict into the Transylvanian border, new regions have been involved, where probably fifteen hundred of our Sabbath-keeping brethren and sisters reside. Thus yet other churches and families will know the distresses and hardships of war time. We are sure these believers will be remembered in the prayers of those who live afar from the lands torn with strife.
