A Note From California
By E. J. Hibbard
In reply to many who are inquiring what they can do to help individuals whose homes, furniture, or clothing were destroyed by the San Francisco earthquake and fire, I would say: Do not take collections in your churches for us. Do not in any way divert the funds which should go to push the message in “regions beyond.” We are “perplexed, but not in despair.” No one is suffering at present. We are deeply grateful that no life has been lost. If an individual, here and there, has a burden to do something; if God has stirred your heart so that you feel it your duty to do something in this direction, that, I judge, will be all right. But please do not take collections for individuals who have suffered financial loss. 916 Laguna St., San Francisco.
