How the Children Helped
By H. H. Hall
IN the organization of a tract and missionary society in Vancouver, British Columbia, recently, the desire to keep out of debt was strikingly manifested. We wanted books, tracts, and papers, but we wanted them paid for. We remembered the instruction, “Owe no man anything;” and we each immediately asked ourselves the question, What can I do? The answer came from nearly every person in the small congregation, and about forty dollars in cash was soon raised, and about eight hundred copies of the Coronation Number of the Signs of the Times were subscribed for. These will be sold, and the proceeds dedicated to the missionary society. There was hardly a child in the room who did not take some papers, and the enthusiasm manifested by the children in helping the society to start free from debt was certainly touching. Is there not a suggestion here for missionary societies that are in debt? Instead of excusing ourselves from doing advance work because we have debts, how would it be to do advance work that we may pay our debts? H. H. HALL.
