Collecting for Missions

A BROTHER, in reporting on his work of collecting for missions, apologizes for getting only $7.75 in distributing 25 papers, each paper averaging 31 cents. He explains that he was working from 7 A. M. until 6 P. M., and walking four miles to and from work each day, and that all the time he had to work with the papers was during the noon hour. His plan was to get a donation of $1 or 50 cents on his card to begin with, and to ask each person solicited to give liberally. This brother stated that he got his inspiration for this work in a prayer-meeting, where many persons expressed in their testimonies the strong desire to do something for Jesus. He resolved to gratify his desire, and began to work for missions.
