Echoes From the Harvest

By T. E. Bowen

SPLENDID reports are being received of the good work being done in the Harvest Ingathering. A few extracts from letters will be of interest:—
Elder C. L. Taggart, president of the Northern California-Nevada Conference, writes: “We are glad to report that we are busily engaged in the Harvest Ingathering campaign. Tuesday, October 14, a company went out in the city of Stockton and gathered during the day $72 for missions. We feel sure our field is going to gather considerably more than was obtained last year. One brother went to three persons and received $12.50,—five dollars each from two, and two dollars and a half from the third. Our conference workers are taking an active part in this work. We are not asking our people to do something that we are not willing to do ourselves.”
Another report reads: “Word just received from Boulder, Colo., states that two of the members there have already turned in $32 from the Harvest Ingathering campaign work. Of this amount six persons gave five dollars each.”
Another church in Colorado reports $20.80 as the result of working five residence blocks in their city, with the business portion still untouched. This church says further: “Almost all are at work. We took the matter to the Lord in prayer before we started out, and we believe he is answering us.”
Papers are being used with care. Let none think they are out to see how many papers they can give away. This is not the object, but how much can be gathered for God while handing out these good papers. One union conference has adopted a printed envelope to accompany each paper, the solicitor stating that he will call in a day or two for an offering.
Over half a million papers have already been sent out, and the orders have caught up with the supply printed ahead. The presses are still at work, and will be able to keep ahead of the orders.
The four unions leading on October 17 are: Pacific, 73,145; Columbia, 68,773; Lake, 67,783; and Northern Pacific, 62,245. The council in session here is enthusiastic in planning for the campaign. God is greatly blessing this work. All must share in it by taking part.
