Ingathering Campaign Notes

By A. J. S. Bourdeau

MRS. W. M. CLEMENT, of South Dakota writes: “Enclosed find $4.10 secured by the distribution of the ten numbers of the REVIEW sent me. It is a small amount, but will do a little good.”

In a future issue of the REVIEW we shall print a full list of the conferences, arranged under their respective unions, and indicating the copies of the special REVIEW ordered by each last year, and thus far this year.

We have just received the following interesting bit of experience from Elder C. McReynolds, president of the Wisconsin Conference: “I went out with the Missions number of the REVIEW this afternoon for the first time. I spent about thirty-five minutes, presented it to four people, and received donations to the amount of $7.50. I shall go again. Good reports are coming in from other places.” This report will indeed encourage many other busy people to go and do likewise.

A dear sister in one of the mountain regions of California, sixty years of age, sends us this encouraging message: “I thank you so much for the ten copies of the REVIEW sent in advance. I began to canvass at once, as I can give only a short time every other day or so to the work. I am sixty years of age, and my husband is an atheist. There are only nineteen family tents that I can visit here in this place. Last year I secured twenty-five donations, but I am praying that the Lord will open the way for me to get twice that number this year.” The Lord’s blessing will surely attend her and the many others who feel impelled to engage in the work, even under the most discouraging circumstances.
