AN APPEAL.

By J. W. Collie

THE Lord has spoken definitely with reference to the necessity of our young people securing an education that they may be enabled to go forth as successful laborers in this closing work. We are continually receiving letters from worthy young men and women whose circumstances in life are such that they find it impossible to secure a preparation for the work, and some of these letters are touching indeed. We aim to secure employment for as many as possible, and the school has done much in taking care of a large class for which it has received no cash returns. Recognizing the need of encouraging every worthy person who should be in school, it has been thought best to create what will be termed “The Students’ Aid Fund,” and from this fund money can be loaned or used as the committee may see best. Oftentimes young persons write us that if we will allow them to take a six months’ course, they will reimburse us when they go out into the field. We would be glad to accommodate every such one if we had the money; and shall be glad to do so when we can have the money.

We believe the members of every church in District 3 will co-operate with us in thus helping those who will be benefited by being with us in school. We trust all will give this appeal their careful and prayerful consideration. All remittances should be sent to the undersigned, at Battle Creek College, Battle Creek, Mich. J. W. COLLIE.
