Now Is the Time to Help

By Arthur Grosvenor Daniells

In my travels among our brethren I find a growing interest in the work in the Southern field. The progress the different departments of the cause is making is filling the hearts of our people with courage. They are cheered to see the marked increase in the number of believers, in the amount of tithe received, in the sales of our literature, in the growth of the educational and medical work, and in the substantial progress being made in behalf of the colored people. All rejoice to see this good fruit being borne as a result of the earnest work and large expenditure of the past.

In view of all these encouraging omens, and also of the present great needs and alarming conditions that exist, we are all exceedingly anxious that the collection to be taken October 5 for the work in behalf of the colored people shall be a large one. Many stirring appeals have been written for this collection. The object of this note is to earnestly request all our people to read these appeals with care, and take them to heart. Let ministers and church elders present the matter clearly to all our people. Brethren, we must have a large offering this year. Our faithful men in the South who are bearing the burden and perplexities of this work on their hearts need financial help. Remember them, and give as you would want others to give were you carrying the burden in the Southern field. And when we have given as the Lord requires, let us continue to pray the Lord to greatly bless and prosper the cause to which the offerings are made.
