A Good Plan

Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association · Battle Creek, Mich. · Oct 21, 1902

ANOTHER church elder writes: “The plan of using the weekly offering envelopes is certainly a good one, as the two months' use of them in the church here has increased our offerings very much.” If in every church this custom were systematically followed, and the offerings gathered regularly each week, in a short time the funds for mission work would be very largely increased; and few would feel that giving to this cause had been a burden. Indeed, on the other hand, it would bring life and power into the churches; for “the home-missionary work will be further advanced in every way when a more liberal, self-denying, self-sacrificing spirit is manifested for the prosperity of foreign missions.”
