Who Will Respond at Once?
By Arthur G. Daniells
In last week's REVIEW the manager of the Southern Publishing Association at Nashville placed before our brethren and sisters the pressing needs of that institution for immediate financial help. That printing house was established in the South for the purpose of supplying that large, peculiar field with the special literature required to proclaim this message effectually in that part of the Lord’s vineyard. The machinery and equipment mentioned in the manager’s article last week are necessary to carry out the purpose for which the office has been built. This expense was foreseen by the management months ago, and at the Oakland General Conference it was voted to assist our brethren in the South to get the means. The purpose of this note is to speak a word in behalf of this enterprise. Shall we not help our brethren in that difficult field at once? Are there not brethren in the North who for years have been greatly prospered by the Lord, whose hearts are moved to share their blessings with our brethren in the South? The time has come for this message to go to the world, and for the work to be finished. Everything about us indicates that our work must soon close. This is especially true of the situation in the South. Within a few days I have received letters from two conference presidents in the Southern field, who state that they have witnessed things that show that a slight turn in affairs in the South could soon close our work there unless the Lord should work for them in a signal manner. O let us throw our all into this cause, and quickly finish the work God has given us! Let us do this without any more delay. Donations may be sent to either the treasurer of the General Conference, 222 North Capitol St., Washington, D. C., or the Southern Publishing Association, 1023 Jefferson St., Nashville, Tenn. A prompt and liberal response will bring financial relief, courage to those struggling with the load, and more than all else, quicken the pace of this movement.
