Harvest Ingathering Notes

By A. J. S. Bourdeau

DURING the seven days ending Thursday evening, November 18, we received orders for 8,992 copies of the Missions REVIEW,—an average of 1,284 copies per day.

From the orders we are still receiving for the Missions number of the REVIEW, it is evident that many of our people intend to continue the campaign work for some time to come.

Although the campaign is well under way, we are continually receiving orders for the special REVIEW and other supplies from new recruits, as well as from those who have successfully distributed their first supply.

One dear brother, an isolated Sabbath-keeper in the State of Washington, writes us that, although eighty-six years of age and sixty-five miles from our nearest church, he will endeavor to make good use of the ten extra copies of the REVIEW sent him. He says: “There are only two families here that I can reach.” The rest of the papers he will mail to friends. It is inspiring to note the zeal and activity of the aged in this work.

From a brief note just received from Mrs. Leon A. Smith, of Nashville, Tenn., we quote the following encouraging words: “I am enclosing a check for fifteen dollars. I am soliciting by letter from friends not in the truth. My courage is good in this work. Ten dollars came from a prominent gentleman of Baltimore, Md., with good words for the work. The fifteen dollars enclosed are the result of sending out two papers. There are others to be heard from. Coming into personal touch with so many devoted workers from these foreign fields during the General Conference has given me a fresh zeal and a great desire to be of service in this great work.” Soliciting by correspondence will enable many busy people to have a share in the blessings to be found in this great missionary endeavor.
