Ready for Greater Sacrifices
By A. J. BREED
WE call upon our brethren in the Upper Columbia Conference to begin at once to plan for the week of prayer. Let each member of the family, as far as possible, have some part in helping to raise means for this work. The Lord has greatly blessed the brethren of the Upper Columbia Conference by giving good crops, and good prices for whatever they have had for sale; and now that the call comes for us to return some part of this means entrusted to our care, to be placed at the disposal of the General Conference Committee and applied to the most needy fields, not only to sustain the missions already established, but to open up the work in fields not yet entered. In response to the urgent calls for help and the great necessities of the work, a number of the Eastern conferences have placed at the disposal of the General Conference a part of their laborers and means to help carry on the work. We believe Upper Columbia will feel in sympathy with such a move, and be willing to make greater sacrifices than it has ever made to help carry on this good work. As we near the end, the importance and responsibilities of this work will be greater, and the calls for means correspondingly greater, until every nation, kindred, tongue, and people shall have this gospel of the kingdom, which is to be “preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” A. J. BREED, of Upper Columbia.
