The Harvest Ingathering “Review”

By E. R. Palmer

We are sending the Harvest Ingathering number of the REVIEW to our subscribers four weeks in advance. It is dated October 9, and takes its place as a regular number of the REVIEW for that date. But as the Harvest Ingathering campaign is to begin October 6, we thought it would be of interest and profit to all our people to have the paper a few weeks in advance.
A careful reading of this beautiful number, prepared by the Mission Board, will doubtless greatly increase the interest of all our people in this campaign for missions. A few who have seen advance copies have expressed themselves as greatly pleased with it; some have even said that they believe this to be the best missionary document ever prepared by this denomination for distribution among the people.
We trust that its attractive appearance, and its beautiful messages and appeals from foreign lands, will encourage our people to order a liberal supply, or perhaps substantially increase the orders already sent in.
A few facts relating to the publication of this Harvest Ingathering number may be of general interest:—
We are now printing our first order from the Mission Board for five hundred thousand copies.
The edition calls for three car-loads of paper, weighing 94,251 pounds.
Three presses, running eight hours a day, must run forty-five days to complete the edition.
Although we do not begin mailing the papers until September 15, yet on September 1 three hundred thousand copies were wrapped and stacked in the basement, ready to post.
The printing of the entire edition of half a million copies will be completed September 10, five days before we begin mailing.
We have stock on hand for an extra one hundred thousand copies if required. Doubtless that number, and perhaps more, will be used in this campaign, and we can assure our people that their orders will be promptly filled.
All these papers will be sent out by post at pound rates, one cent a pound, and the postage will cost about one thousand dollars.
Our employees have worked earnestly and faithfully during the hot summer months in bringing out this great edition, which comes to us as an extra above our regular, rapidly growing work. Great interest has been taken by all in the effort to make this number of the REVIEW as perfect as possible for the use of our people in this one-hundred-thousand-dollar campaign for missions.
Our prayers go with these papers in behalf of the work which may be undertaken by the readers of the REVIEW.
