The Last Word Before the Campaign

By W. T. Knox

NEXT week's issue of the REVIEW will be the beautiful Harvest Ingathering number. The campaign for distributing these papers and collecting funds for foreign missions begins October 31.

On the evening of October 18 a larger number of these papers had been ordered than on the corresponding date of either of the two previous years since the Harvest Ingathering work was introduced.

Our local conferences are taking such an active responsibility in leading out in this work this year that the campaign promises to be more fruitful and satisfactory than any previous one.

If any of the readers of the REVIEW have failed to order a liberal supply of these papers, they should do so at once. We are still prepared to fill all orders promptly. If any should neglect to order until next week, when a copy of the Harvest Ingathering number will be sent to each subscriber, we believe that this number will be so appreciated and enjoyed by our readers that even then they will wish to secure a supply for their friends and neighbors. The electrotype plates will be preserved, so that more papers can be printed, and all orders promptly filled until the close of the year.

The needs of our foreign fields are so great that we are earnestly praying that the Lord will move upon the hearts of his people to work earnestly in this campaign, and that he will give great success in collecting funds. Let us all join in the work so earnestly that at the close of the year we may sing from the heart, as did Deborah and Barak: "For that the leaders took the lead in Israel, for that the people offered themselves willingly, bless ye Jehovah." Judges 5:2, A. R. V.
