Increase Offerings Through Weekly Envelopes
WHEREVER the little weekly offering envelope has been faithfully used, the offerings have been materially increased. This is as true of the individual as of the church or conference. Elder Wm. Covert writes of their experience in Wisconsin: “We have been following this plan in many of the churches in our conference, and although we have not reached the farthest point attainable, yet I notice that our offerings have more than doubled. By giving it more careful attention, we expect to double the offerings again during 1904. We will make the effort. I feel quite confident that there will be a much larger sum raised for foreign mission work in the United States this year than has been raised during any past year.” This can easily be accomplished if each church plans definitely to increase its offerings during 1904. It means only systematic effort. The Mission Board will supply all the envelopes that can be used.
