What Can Be Done

By E. W. Farnsworth

Two years ago the Echo Publishing Company in Australia planned to move their printing plant from the city of Melbourne into the country. They asked our brethren and sisters in Australia and New Zealand to give five dollars per capita to build the new factory required, and to pay the expense of moving.
The total membership in Australasia at that time was 2,500. The brethren responded promptly to the appeal made to them, and have actually paid in cash five dollars each, and have still $5,000 in pledges yet to be paid, and which are constantly being met.
If the Sabbath-keepers in the United States should respond to the present call for $150,000 in the same way that our brethren did in Australasia when they were asked to raise $12,000, we should have, not $150,000, but $300,000, with an overflow in pledges of $120,000 to follow.
Can not we, with our abundant resources and wealth, do as well as our poorer brethren over the sea?
