Sabbath School Mission Giving in 1910

OUR Sabbath-schools in the United States gave to missions during 1910, $101,122.49. This was a gain over the preceding year of $17,241.23. During 1910 our Sabbath-schools throughout the world gave to missions $136,213.23. This was a gain over the donations for 1909 of $24,165.77. During the last twenty-four years the donations to missions from our Sabbath-schools in all lands have amounted to $929,063.17, nearly one million dollars. Who is the poorer to-day for the many little gifts making up this large sum total? What vast good has doubtless been accomplished by these free-will gifts as they have contributed to the carrying of the gospel to all parts of the world!

“Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the Lord. . . . Wherefore David blessed the Lord before all the congregation: and David said, . . . Both riches and honor come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.”
