Gather the Mission Offerings Each Week
As an evidence that the offerings to missions will be materially increased when attention is given to the matter each week, without added burden to any, one of our Western workers writes:— We adopted the system of giving weekly to missions some time ago. Formerly our gifts were very small, about sixty-five cents a week. Since I began to collect the mission offerings each Sabbath during the service, we find an increase. Now we have between two and three dollars each week, and usually about thirty-five dollars each quarter. By keeping our missions continually before the people, they are not inclined to grow careless or forgetful, and overlook the relation of this work to Christ’s coming. Try the plan of collecting the offerings each week in your church, and let us know if your experience is not similar to this one. If you have not received a supply of the weekly offering envelopes, you can get them by writing to your State office or direct to the Mission Board.
