The Missions Campaign

By T. E. Bowen

Brother W. B. Walters, secretary of the New Jersey Conference, sends the following: “Sister Ellen Storms, of Allentown, N. J., who was seventy years old the day of writing, says: ‘Enclosed find $14.20 for the Harvest Ingathering fund. I ordered thirty copies of the REVIEW specials, and they sent me sixty; so I have placed them all and send you the returns.’”

This is a splendid record for a sister seventy years of age. Her papers yielded an average of twenty-five and two-thirds cents.

A brother in Newark, Ohio, spent one hour and twenty minutes, used four papers, and received $13.45. A sister in Keene, Tex., reported $60 already in hand. The church of which she is a member had obtained $200 for missions when last heard from. A church in one of the California conferences, after one day’s work, had $115. And so the good reports come in. One union conference has decided to continue its effort all through the month of November.

November 14, orders had been received for 575,000 papers, and still the orders continue to come in.

The Lord is fulfilling his promise by sending his angels not only to prepare hearts to be willing to give, but by blessing in a special manner all who engage in this good work. Let none miss the blessing.
