The October 2 Offering

By I. H. Evans

SABBATH, October 2, will be an important day in most of our churches. Not only will there be the regular quarterly service, when every church-member is supposed to make a special effort to be present and to participate in the ordinances of the Lord's house, but each church-member will bring into the treasury his tithes and offerings.

The first Sabbath in October is the time set apart for an offering in behalf of our work among the colored people of the South. The needs of the Negro Department of the General Conference are great. The calls for workers are imperative. This annual ingathering is essential in order to sustain the schools, evangelistic workers, and sanitariums now in operation among the colored people, and to supply the many calls for additional workers. Surely the need for a liberal offering is imperative. We trust each one will do what he can.
