Sanitarium Relief Campaign

Progress of the Campaign

A GOOD report comes from Brother Ernest Lloyd, missionary secretary of the Southern California Conference, showing that at the time of his writing, about four thousand books had been placed in nineteen churches in that conference. Brother Lloyd is following a plan in his own work that may offer a good suggestion to others. He writes:—

“We are doing our best to give this important work its full place, and it looks now as if that place will be a large one. Well, it’s a good thing to be elastic in one’s capacity for doing, considering all the heavy demands that have come to our people during the past three months, I believe Southern California is doing pretty well; but we shall not boast. Others are working as hard, perhaps harder. Brother C. C. Morlan, our canvassing agent, goes with me each Sabbath to one of our churches, and the morning service is given over to this work. Other work keeps us busy through the week. I believe the Sabbath morning period is the only time only for this work to get the proper attention.”

In Nebraska

Another missionary secretary who is devoting earnest work to the relief campaign is Brother M. E. Ellis, of the Nebraska Conference. He has special charge of this work, in connection with his other duties. We have received a neat folder of eight pages and cover, fully setting forth the plan of the campaign, to be used in connection with the special campaign week, December 17-24. We hope to present a report of the week’s work later.

Praying and Working

One conference president, writing to the laborers concerning the campaign, says: “This is the most important campaign of the year. Let every one do all in his power to make it a success. Nothing is impossible to the man of faith. Talk courage, and pray the kind of prayers that amount to something. Then work like a saint to help the Lord answer them.” L. A. HANSEN.
