All Thankfully Received
By S. H. Lane
Each week brings in means on the Acre Mission Fund. The names of the donors are appearing in the REVIEW. If the name of any donor has not yet appeared, let no one think that his donation has not been received. Receipts are being sent out and letters written to each donor, and the amount of each donation will be receipted ere long. Hundreds of names are awaiting their turn to appear in the REVIEW. The letters which we are receiving are very encouraging. Almost every letter expresses gratitude for the privilege of giving. Scores of dollars are being received from the proceeds of eggs laid on the Sabbath. Here is a portion of a letter written by a sister in New York, and is a specimen of many other letters received. The sister says, “I read an earnest appeal in the REVIEW, from Elder S. H. Lane, for the Acre Mission Fund. One plan was for donating the eggs laid on the Sabbath. This plan was very unique, and I have saved the eggs, and will send you the proceeds for the last month ($2.00), and will continue to do so as long as I keep chickens. I have always given the money received for fruit for the missionary work, but will now add the egg money, too.” This letter certainly shows that the sister is deeply imbued with the missionary spirit. The Lord will bless such efforts wherever and whenever put forth. We trust that the readers of the REVIEW will consider this sister’s plan, and adopt the same as far as possible. The work is certainly onward; and when the final consummation shall be reached, those who have sacrificed to carry on the work of God will have the “Well done” said to them. Reader, if you have not sent in something on the Acre Mission Fund will you not do so immediately? Who will respond next?
