Report of the $300,000 Fund
By William T. Knox
With this issue of the REVIEW, we are presenting a report of the receipts on the $300,000 Fund, showing the total amount of money received in the General Conference treasury up to Feb. 28, 1911. This report shows that we have now received $78,237.95. Something over sixty thousand dollars of this amount has already gone forward to the different mission fields, and we expect that during the month of March the entire amount will be in the hands of those fields that are ready to use the money. In comparing the present standing with the showing at the close of the year 1910, $14,433.53 is discovered to be the amount of receipts for January and February. While this is greatly appreciated, yet, with the urgent need in the different mission fields of the work that is to be established and the homes that are to be built with this fund, and with the encouragement that has been given to them that fully a third of this large fund would be available by the beginning of the present year, it is evident that much disappointment must be experienced by our brethren in seeing the money come in no faster than is indicated by this report. The sad cases of sickness and death that are reported from some of the mission fields should stir our hearts and energies to renewed activity in our effort to send forward to the fields sufficient money so that all our brethren can be placed in at least safe surroundings.
