Notes From the Treasury

By W. T. Knox

WE are made glad by the evidences of a liberal annual offering. From Great Britain a sister sends us a thousand dollars for the increase of the work in Singapore. A sister in Southern California sends us for the mission work another donation of one thousand dollars. For the work in the Philippines a brother sends us three hundred dollars. The few reports that we have received from the churches indicate that our brethren have set themselves to relieve the present condition of the Mission Board treasury.

Word has already been received from the Greater New York Conference that their committee has, in harmony with the recent action of the General Conference Council, voted five per cent of their tithe receipts to the “Sustentation Fund,” and ten per cent to the General Conference for mission work. The president of the Southeastern Union reports that all conferences in that union have agreed to these general plans, and that we may count on five per cent of their tithe for mission work.

On account of the necessity of making appropriations early in the year for 1911, we are anxious to hear from all conferences in regard to this matter at as early a date as possible. W. T. Knox.
