Campaign News

By A. J. S. Bourdeau

Up to Friday noon, November 5, our presses had turned out seven hundred thousand copies of the Missions REVIEW.
A number of large telegraphic and mail orders are still being received for the special REVIEW and other campaign supplies.
The ten extra copies of the REVIEW sent to each REVIEW reader and church elder will not be counted in the final statistics given for each local and union conference.
During the past two weeks our mailing department delivered at the post-office 1,570 sacks filled with the Missions REVIEW. This represents a total weight of 63,073 pounds.
Up to Thursday evening, November 4, 683,290 copies of the Missions REVIEW had been called for. This includes the ten sample copies sent to the readers of the REVIEW and to church elders.
At last accounts the California-Nevada Conference had ordered the largest number of copies of the Missions REVIEW. Following is a list of the twelve conferences now in the lead, with the number of copies of the REVIEW ordered by each: (1) California-Nevada, 30,577; (2) Kansas, 18,838; (3) Southern California, 17,724; (4) Nebraska, 16,784; (5) Minnesota, 15,940; (6) Ohio, 15,799; (7) Iowa, 13,260; (8) Eastern Colorado, 13,122; (9) West Michigan, 13,030; (10) Western Washington, 12,826; (11) Eastern Pennsylvania, 12,706; and (12) Indiana, 12,430.
In order that the faculty and students might have an opportunity of doing some actual campaign work, the Foreign Mission Seminary closed its doors Thursday, November 4. About fifty of the faculty and students took their supplies of the Missions REVIEW and “Official Solicitor’s Cards” and went to their assigned territory in the city of Washington. One student turned in his card the same evening with $2.50, which he had received from thirteen persons. A young lady, the second one to report, had twenty names on her card, the total amount she had collected being $2.15.
