What Have You Decided to Do?
By S. H. Lane
We are glad that many of our brethren and sisters throughout the field are volunteering to aid in the Missionary Acre Fund by planting gardens, and larger parcels of land,—some, one quarter of an acre; others, one or two acres; and some as many as five or six acres. Different kinds of grain are to be planted, or sown, such as cotton, corn, wheat, oats, flax, cane, buckwheat, and millet, also potatoes. Some are donating the hay which will grow on an acre or more of land. Others are giving the proceeds received from a definite number of sheep, cows, hens, ducks, or turkeys. Some will donate the fruit of the tree or the vineyard. Surely the Lord will be pleased as He sees hundreds of acres planted to aid His cause. His blessing will surely rest upon the land to make it fruitful, and a blessing to His cause, as well as a blessing to the one who donates the use of the land, and performs the labor. Times are prosperous. All products of the field and orchard bring good prices. Labor is abundant, therefore money is plenty, and now is the time to give means to help the cause of God out of debt. All money secured from the Missionary Acre Fund will be used in purchasing the old Battle Creek College buildings, that a place may be provided where doctors and nurses may be educated. This will be a great aid to the Sanitarium in carrying on its noble work of training laborers for the great harvest field. If any cannot plant gardens to aid this work, and desire to contribute money, please send a donation to the Treasurer of the General Conference, H. M. Mitchell, Battle Creek, Mich. Please state definitely the purpose for which you send the money. Who will aid in this grand work? S. H. LANE.
