Fourth Sabbath Home Missionary Service

By A. J. S. Bourdeau

To Be Held October 22

As announced in the REVIEW of September 15, the General Conference Committee passed the following recommendation during its spring council:

“That a general missionary service be held in all the churches on the fourth Sabbath of each month:—

“(a) Under the direction of the church missionary committee.”

“(b) The co-operative effort of adults and Missionary Volunteers.”

“(c) Based upon the monthly program outlined in the Missionary and Publishing department of the REVIEW.”

“(d) Regular collection of church in charge of the missionary secretary (librarian), to be used for home tract and missionary work.”

It is planned to hold the first of these services in all the churches and companies of believers on Sabbath, October 22. In order to give the church officers in all the conferences ample time to prepare for this occasion, the suggestive program for this missionary meeting will appear in the Missionary and Publishing department of the next REVIEW, October 6.

In resuming our monthly home missionary church services, the first step naturally will be to complete the organization of the tract and missionary society in each church and company. To facilitate this work of organizing, the Missionary and Publishing Department of the General Conference has issued Home Missionary Leaflet No. 3, entitled “Home Tract and Missionary Work: Its Organization and Relation to the Individual, the Home, the Church, and Our Conferences.” Enough copies have been issued to supply all our ministers, missionary workers, church officers, and isolated Sabbath-keepers.

Only a short time now remains until the opening of the Harvest Ingathering campaign. The better we are organized, the more effective will be our work in this great and worthy effort. For leaflets and further particulars, address your conference tract society office. Remember the date of the meeting, Sabbath, October 22.

A. J. S. BOURDEAU,

Missionary Secretary.
