Offering Four Times as Large in Des Moines, Iowa

“DURING the first four months of 1902 the Des Moines (Iowa) church paid $22.20 in First-day offerings. About the first of this year the envelope plan with weekly collections was adopted, and the offerings now average about five dollars a week, or nearly four times the amount given last year. This is a forcible evidence of the value of the envelope plan.”
Similar experiences are reported from other churches. No church elder should fail to introduce the envelopes for collecting the offerings.
