Voices in the Conferences

ELDER C. McREYNOLDS speaks in the Wisconsin Reporter of his impressions of the recent Washington council, which was called to decide as to this special fund:—

Greater plans were laid for the prosecution of the work in all parts of the world than have ever been made before in the history of the work of this people. Missionaries are being sent in every direction.

The raising of the $150,000 fund means the driving of strong stakes for the lengthening of the cords in every direction. The speedy raising of this fund will quicken the forward pace of this movement in all the earth.

By the Indiana Reporter we see that the churches there have already devoted a Sabbath service to the special call. Elder W. J. Stone says:—

Will not every church officer in Indiana, without urging, take up this matter at once and push it to a finish? I am glad to know that some are already doing this, and some of our lay brethren are in advance of the leaders. Let us all unitedly take up this duty, and make it a quick work.

The appeal is launched in the Atlantic Union Gleaner. Elders E. W. Farnsworth and W. A. Westworth are appointed to lead out in the union effort. After calling attention to the evidence of rapid growth and the strengthening of the organization shown in the recent statistical report, Elder Westworth says:—

Brethren and sisters, we have been blessed with an era of prosperity in the country; an abundant harvest is at hand; and with the many responsibilities that rest upon us, we need to rally in all our might and raise this money at once, so that the way may be cleared for greater victories and more glorious triumphs in the Lord. We believe this whole matter can be gotten out of the way in a few short months, if there is a united action and a prayerful seeking of God to open up the way and enable us to accomplish that whereunto he has called us.

If these brethren voice the sentiment throughout the field, and we believe they do, this work will be quickly done.
