The Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollar Fund

By C. M. S.

For Special Work at Home and Abroad

Helpers Together

A CONFERENCE paper dated December 28 reports one church to have paid its full quota of the fund. It was a small church, and a new one too, having been organized only a year and a half. Equal promptness by every church would have closed the matter with the close of the year. Let this new church be an example and an incentive to those longer established, that the blessings pronounced upon the liberal soul may be shared by all throughout the denomination. We have had many calls—we shall have more. It is one of the indications of the close of the work. When we “give till we feel it,” we shall see that the cause feels it also. The response of the cause to our liberality will cause our hearts to rejoice. The promptness of the church above referred to is an indication of the warmth of its “first love.” Let us bend willing shoulders to the burden. In so doing we shall find that we ourselves are being lifted by it. Although we may not be able to give the whole amount as quickly as we would desire, yet let us remember that our faithfulness in this matter is of great value in the sight of God. Persistent, continuous effort will accomplish the work. C. M. S.
