Weekly Offering Envelopes Help a Small Church
One of our smaller churches has found the weekly offering envelopes helpful in keeping the needs of the field before the individual members. The librarian writes: “I do not think there were many paying a weekly offering before the envelopes reached us, as we are so apt to neglect these important things. But when they came, I handed them around, and gathered them up, and found quite an interest taken in them. Only about eight or nine of our members are near enough to attend our meetings regularly, but our offerings for the quarter just closed are a large increase over any previous quarter. I am glad that the Saviour’s coming is near at hand, and I am glad that we can hasten it by giving of our means to send those who are willing to go to perishing souls to tell them of a Saviour’s love.” Could we ask for a greater privilege? By simply returning to the Lord of the harvest a little of the bounties with which he has blessed us, we may be accounted among those who are speeding his last message of mercy to the world, to prepare it for his coming. Who would not have a part in this glorious work? Try it. It means light and life in your own soul and in your church.
