The Missions Campaign

By T. E. Bowen

THE first conference to send the message over the wires that their portion of the $100,000 Ingathering aim had been received is the Maritime Conference, in the Canadian Union. This telegram reached us Friday noon, November 14, just too late for last week's Review. This conference has a membership of two hundred and thirty-nine, their portion being $368.06. Lulu Van Buskirk, their secretary, writes: “Although this aim is reached, we are not satisfied, but are planning to continue the campaign, doubling the amount if possible.” This is a fine note of courage from Maritime. What conference shall be next?

E. L. Richmond, superintendent of the Review and Herald, writes: “This morning I received from a business man in Washington a letter which may be of interest: ‘I have looked over and read the copy of the REVIEW AND HERALD which you so kindly sent me. Cannot see how any one could help but be interested after reading the same. I have always been more or less interested in your work in the mission fields, and have from time to time added my little mite for the good work. Am enclosing a check for twenty-five dollars for mission work. My only regret is that I am not able to make it larger.’”

R. J. Brown, conference secretary of Virginia, writes: “The conference president handed a paper to a foreman of a tailor shop and left an envelope with him, calling later. The man could hardly wait to get the safe open and present him with the envelope containing two five-dollar bills. He also asked many questions concerning our faith, and stated that he believed the seventh day was the right day to observe.” There are many such all about us. God wants us to search them out. T. E.
