October Twenty-Nine

DON’T forget the missionary conventions to be held in all our churches, October 29.

These conventions, according to the recommendation of the General Conference Council, are to introduce “a mighty missionary campaign . . . which shall know no cessation until this gospel of the kingdom is carried to every nation, tongue, and people.”

It was also recommended “that such varied and effective plans be developed in every conference and church as will assign a specific place in this movement to every man, woman, and child among us.”

There will be four readings for the first convention, together with suggestions concerning the meeting itself. The readings will be as follows:—

“A Call to Service,” Mrs. E. G. White.

“Continuance in Well-Doing,” A. G. Daniels.

“Best Ways of Using Periodicals and Tracts,” various writers.

“Our Young People, Their Privileges and Responsibilities,” M. E. Kern.

These were published in the REVIEW of October 20. In view of this, and of the other valuable matter contained in this paper, it was also recommended that “librarians, church elders, and conference laborers seek to place it in the home of every Sabbath-keeper.”

Is your church ready for this convention? The members of each church should plan for this meeting, arrange for different readers and speakers, and encourage every one to take some part. See the program of the Takoma Park church on another page, as a suggestion so simple that it can be carried out anywhere.

If this missionary campaign is to be

what its name implies, every one of our people must have an opportunity of sharing in its responsibilities, hence the recommendation, which has already been quoted, to the effect that a specific place in this movement be given to every man, woman, and child among us.
