THE RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS.
By P. T. Magan
AT the recent meeting of our Conference presidents and general workers, held at Battle Creek, it was voted that the RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS committee raise Fifty Thousand Dollars to pay for the material in “Christ’s Object Lessons.” As secretary of the committee it devolves upon me to tell you of it, and to call upon you to respond. My brethren and sisters, God has set his hand to free our schools. To do this work is for us the Third Angel’s Message at this time. In that beautiful story concerning the man who found a field in which was hidden a treasure, it took ALL to buy the field. We have no means of raising this money, except as our brethren and sisters give it to us. WE NEED FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO-DAY. Is there among Seventh-day Adventists five thousand dollars that could just as well as not be spared? Is there this much money among Seventh-day Adventists which could just as well as not be spared to-day? I believe there is. Brethren, let us love not in word only, but IN DEED and in truth. And now we appeal to Seventh-day Adventists everywhere in the United States whom God has blessed financially to come to the help of the Lord against the mighty. If you knew that the Lord was coming next week, do not you think you would send this money in? But the Lord’s cause needs this money NOW far more than it would if he were coming next week; for if he were coming next week, the Third Angel’s Message would be closed; there would be no “cause” to help, and Christ would not need the help of his brethren and sisters on earth.
