Giving—a Blessing

By A Church Librarian

WE are still distributing the envelopes from Sabbath to Sabbath. Our offerings amounted to $27.52 up to December 30. I have not heard what we have collected since then. I distribute the envelopes each Sabbath, and our church treasurer collects the ones I had distributed the week before. We are sure that the envelope plan has been a great blessing to the church, as it has been a reminder of their call to duty. The dear children have caught the spirit, and take pleasure in passing in the envelopes with their little offerings. I am careful not to miss the lambs of the flock as I give out the envelopes. I wish you could see how pleased they are to get one in their own hands, which means to them that they are expected to help in the good work. I am indeed glad that we have this plan started again. I am thankful there is something I can do to help this good work along. I realize that time is short, and that we have only a little time in which to prepare for that great day.
