Are You Planning for It?

WE have presented to our brethren and sisters a brief summary of the situation at Christiania, and have made an appeal for a sufficiently liberal donation on Sabbath, July 5, so that the remainder of this obligation might be met without asking for another collection. We believe this can be done if all take hold heartily, and each contributes according to his ability. We know that many calls are being made upon us for money to be used in various ways, but this in itself ought not to disturb us. We are glad that something is being done which makes a demand for means, and gives an opportunity to make some deposits in the bank of heaven. We are anxious to see the debts paid as soon as possible, so that all the funds raised may be applied in extending the work in the many unworked fields.
The readings for Sabbaths, June 28 and July 5, were sent to the elders of churches and leaders of companies last week. The envelopes for the collection were forwarded at the same time, and should be distributed next Sabbath, June 28. An effort should be made to place an envelope in the hands of each member of the church or company, even if this should render it necessary to do some personal visiting. Let all be aroused to co-operate in this endeavor to close up this matter by one united, hearty effort. Do not forget to plan for this. Time, July 5; amount, $30,000; purpose, to pay the balance of the debt on the Christiania Publishing House.
