Michigan, Attention!

By S. E. Wight

A CANVASSERS’ institute will be held at Berrien Springs, February 18 to March 11. The food will be furnished at the college on the European plan. Board and room will not cost more than two dollars a week, and in most cases less. You can estimate the expense of attending by adding to the six dollars for three weeks’ board (the greatest amount necessary) the railroad fare from your home to Berrien Springs.

It is hoped that all the churches in the State will take an interest in this institute, and send as many as possible to be educated as workers in the Master’s vineyard. We are told by the Spirit of the Lord that “hundreds of young men should have been preparing to act a part in the work of scattering the seeds of truth beside all waters. . . . Our churches are called upon to take hold of this work with far greater earnestness than has yet been manifested. Every church should make special provision for the training of its missionaries, thus aiding the fulfillment of the great command, ‘Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.’ My brethren, we have erred and sinned in attempting too little.”

My brethren, let us not err by attempting too little in these last days of this work. S. E. WIGHT.
