Sabbath-School Offerings

By G. B. Thompson

As shown by the completed report of the Sabbath-school donations for the quarter ending June 30, 1909, in the United States and Canada, the amount given was $21,263.47; foreign conferences and mission fields, $6,910.22; total for the quarter, $28,173.69. This is the most that our schools have given in any one quarter in the history of the denomination. The first quarter of the year the amount was $23,459.87. Total for six months $51,633.56, or a gain over the first six months of the previous year of $9,577.62. If the next two quarters' donations are as large as the past six months, the Sabbath-school donations will reach above one hundred thousand dollars for the year, or more than two thousand dollars each Sabbath.

In 1901 the donations to missions for the entire year were only $21,947, or quite a little less than is given now in one quarter. We believe this shows deeper consecration to the work, and an increased interest in the advancement of the message in all the world.
