The Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollar Fund

By A. G. Daniells

For Special Work at Home and Abroad

This Is the Time to Do Great Things for the Cause

A MORE favorable time for raising the $150,000 required to place our institutions on vantage-ground could not be asked for than the present. For a number of years the Lord has blessed the people of the United States with fruitful seasons, ready markets, and high prices. This has brought great prosperity to the producer. At the same time there has come such general prosperity to this country that there is now a great demand for all classes of laborers at unusually high wages. It is true that the cost of living has greatly increased during the last few years. But on the whole, our people have never been better prepared to quickly raise a large sum for the cause of God than they are today.

As a people we should recognize this and express our gratitude to him who has given these bounties and blessings to us. Sincere gratitude expressed by liberal returns to the Lord’s cause for the finishing of his work is a good basis for confidence that these blessings will be continued. When God’s people cheerfully and heartily co-operate with him in his purposes, the Lord can safely bestow upon them signal blessings; and he will do it. Then let us give cheerfully as he has prospered us.
