The Weekly Offering Envelopes
What Some Church Elders Say
From California: “We find the envelopes are a good thing, as they keep us in mind of our duty. The plan has increased the offerings in our church. We do not slight those that are not of our faith who may attend our meetings, and by this means we have also made a gain in our offerings.” From Ohio: “I think the plan a good one. Before we got the envelopes, no one gave anything. Now the donations run from twenty cents to more than a dollar, according to the number present. I believe that the Lord is moving on the hearts of his people to be more liberal. I long to see Matt. 24:14 fulfilled. May the Lord bless his work.” From Carolina: “Praise the Lord for his own plan. I know that every plan he would have us take up will be a success. Though we are few, the larger part of our members assist in the weekly offering, and during the quarter we received $3.82. It seems a small beginning, but I am thankful that we are willing to fall in line with the movement. Our church is now enjoying the spirit of work. It gladdens my heart to know that we can give to this great cause to carry the blessed truth to those who know it not.”
