Not a Call for Money

By W. B. White

FROM the reports that are coming in from different parts of the field, we should judge that the work with “Christ’s Object Lessons” is going very nicely throughout the conference.
Our people are taking hold of the work with commendable zeal, and but very few are refusing to do anything. We are sorry that all our brethren and sisters cannot see their way clear to take part in this movement, because we know there is a blessing for all who will engage in it with heart and soul. But we are glad that many are selling more than their quota, thus making up for those who are doing nothing.
The brethren in charge of the other divisions write that they hope to have the work finished in their part of the field in time for the tent meetings. We feel that the Lord has especially blessed in this undertaking, and to him shall be the praise and glory.
We are indeed glad to see this great movement going on among our people; for we know that it means much to them. When the time of jubilee comes, as it will before long, we are sure that all will desire to have a part. It now remains for each one to be faithful, disposing of his quota of books, and turning the money into the treasury, that the school debt may be lifted.
Brethren and sisters, this is not a call for money, but it is a call for a little consecrated effort. We do not ask any Seventh-day Adventist to pay a dollar to lift the school debt. If they will only take the books that we put into their hands free, and sell them to their neighbors and friends (who will be glad to get them and pay for them), that is all that is required.
Already, hundreds and thousands of dollars are coming in from the sale of these books, and the debts of the schools are coming down. Hasten on the glad time when this people will be emancipated from every worldly obligation. We mean never to rest until this is an accomplished fact, and the work is done.
