WHO WILL INVEST?

By Editor

There are investments and investments in this world. Many are utterly untrustworthy, some are measurably good, none are absolutely secure. We present before our readers an investment, and ask for a loan on absolutely good security. The note of the best bank in Oakland would be considered good security. A United States note would be considered better still, but a note on the Bank of Heaven, God’s promissory note, is absolutely and eternally sure. On page 6 is an article on “Our Helping Hand Mission.” Please read it. There are hundreds and thousands of homeless, helpless men and women and children in San Francisco who need help now. Their numbers are constantly increasing. We propose to open a Helping Hand Mission to lift them up and help them to a better life and means of existence. To establish this mission we need money, and we need it NOW. The SIGNS OF THE TIMES will do all in its power; but it desires the co-operation of its readers. Who will loan to the Lord money for the Lord’s poor? To all such here is the security, the immutable promises of God:—
“He that hath pity upon the poor LENDETH UNTO THE LORD; and that which he hath given WILL HE PAY him again.” Prov. 19:17.
“He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack; but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.” Prov. 28:27.
“Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” Luke 6:35.
And at last will the Judge of the universe, the blessed Master, say, “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me.” Matt. 25:40.
Whose hearts are touched to help the poor? Who will invest in the Bank Stock of Heaven?
THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES will receipt and account for all moneys which reach us. Send by post-office or express money order, or by bank check. No amount is so small as to be useless, and we can use faithfully for God the largest sum. Address; The Signs of the Times Helping Hand Mission, 12th and Castro Streets, Oakland, Cal.
