Seventh-day Adventists in the Lead
THE Missionary Review of the World for January publishes an interesting table of statistics showing the amount contributed for religious work at home and abroad by the various religious bodies of the United States. The average amount a member gives to home work by Seventh-day Adventists is given as $4.26, and the average amount a member gives to foreign work by this denomination is given as $4.28. But one other church exceeded the Seventh-day Adventists in the amount a member gives for home work, and that is the North Baptist Convention. The largest amount given to foreign missions a member by any other church aside from the Seventh-day Adventist Church, was given by the United Presbyterians, who gave $2.81 a member. It is cause for thankfulness that God has put it into the hearts of his people to respond so liberally to the demands of his cause at home and abroad. However, let us not rest upon the achievements of the past, but with new faith and courage seek to accomplish even more for the cause of truth during the coming year.
