The Sure Results

A CHURCH elder writes: “In this church the weekly offering envelopes are a great aid in keeping the needs of the field before us. During the past quarter there has been over seven dollars paid in through the envelopes, besides, all our other offerings have increased.”

From another church the librarian sends the following good report: “I am glad to report that the envelopes are proving most satisfactory. Our offerings last quarter almost doubled the previous quarter’s. At present there is more of a missionary spirit in our church than I have ever seen before. For this we praise the dear Lord, and give him all the glory.”

This is the very experience that we shall have in every church when a more liberal, self-denying, self-sacrificing spirit is manifested toward the work in the regions beyond. No other investment will bring richer returns.
