The Next Thing to Do

By Arthur G. Daniells

ON Sabbath, October 6, let us respond all together, and with a will, to the call for help for the work among the colored people of the South. Brethren Butler, Evans, and others have been setting the facts before us. The need itself is the mighty appeal. We all know these things—the vast populations, the darkness, the times, the only message for this last hour, the need of hastening forward the good work already begun. The results accomplished appeal earnestly. Workers are being trained, and churches and schools are increasing. This work counts, and we must help our brethren to greatly multiply their efforts. Our work can never be finished in the North with the work in the South unfinished.

Last year in this collection over twelve thousand dollars was raised. Who has felt the poorer? God has made it up in richer gifts, and many souls have been saved as the result. We appeal to every church elder to announce next Sabbath that on the following Sabbath, October 6, this offering for the work among the colored people will be gathered in all our churches. And let us pray that God may help us to make the gift all that it should be, in view of the need, the time, and the message we have committed to us.
