The Sabbath-Schools and Missions

By W. A. S.

An indication of the growth of our Sabbath-schools and of the growth of the missionary spirit in them is afforded by the report which the secretary of the department, Sister L. F. Plummer, makes in the May Sabbath School Worker, just coming from the press.

In 1906 the schools determined to aim at a thousand dollars a week for missions in the class-contribution envelopes. In all the world our schools responded. The gifts were small, but regular and systematic. The result shows what can be done by united effort. The report for the year shows $57,901.96 given for missions by the schools—a thousand dollars a week and a surplus of $5,901.96.

While the Sabbath-schools have been feeding upon the good things of the Word of God, they have remembered the hungry world outside. This splendid gift to missions has meant blessing and salvation to many souls in the mission fields. The schools are a powerful factor in the missionary advance.

So cheered are the Sabbath-school workers at the result of the 1906 effort, that they have taken as the aim for 1907, “A thousand dollars a week for missions in the schools of the United States and Canada.” W. A. S.
