Our Weekly Offering

By W. T. Bland

EVERY one who has adopted the plan of contributing ten cents a week for the support of the work in foreign fields is actually engaged in foreign mission work. While he may not be in a foreign land himself, yet his very efforts go to support those who have sacrificed the comforts of home and of friends to carry the message to the various parts of the world. Those who contribute to the support of this work are naturally interested in it; it is a part of their own work, and they follow it with their prayers as well as with their means.

We have now reached the end of the first quarter of the year 1904. Thirteen weeks have passed. There are belonging to the Seventh-day Adventist Church 75,000 persons. If each member has faithfully carried out this ten-cent-a-week plan, and has handed, or will hand at once, $1.30 to the church treasurer, or will send it to the nearest office, there will be $97,500 raised for foreign missions by this one plan alone.

Are these figures not of enough interest, and is this work not sufficiently important, to cause every one to decide to have a part in it?

All who are in doubt where to send their offerings should send directly to the treasurer of the General Conference, 222 North Capitol St., Washington, D. C.
