Campaign Notes

By A. J. S. Bourdeau

If you have copies of last year's Missions number of the REVIEW, it will be all right to hand them out in connection with this year's Missions number. The matter in them is entirely different, and those upon whom you call will be pleased to receive two papers instead of one.

At last accounts the Lake Union Conference had ordered the largest number of copies of the Missions REVIEW. The following complete list of orders shows the correct standing at the present writing of the various union conferences, in the order named: (1) Lake, 76,261; (2) Central, 65,528; (3) Columbia, 65,118; (4) Pacific, 62,121; (5) Atlantic, 45,531; (6) Northern, 39,248; (7) North Pacific, 33,165; (8) Southwestern, 32,418; (9) Southern, 22,776; (10) Southeastern, 16,151; (11) Canadian, 6,002; (12) Canadian, Western, 5,409.

It is evident that the time set for our Harvest Ingathering campaign was most fortunate. Through the efforts of what is known as the Laymen's Missionary Movement, enthusiastic meetings are being held in all the great cities of the United States and Canada in behalf of the cause of foreign missions. It is an educational campaign. On Thursday, November 11, President Taft and other notable speakers took part in a program in this city, making speeches on the great topic of foreign missions.

Now indeed is an opportune time for every Seventh-day Adventist to engage in the Harvest Ingathering campaign. While the subject of missions is being agitated by the leading thinkers of America, it will be very easy to introduce the needs of our missions; and owing to this publicity, it will be necessary to give only a very brief canvass.
