More About the Relief Campaign

By G. T.

At the recent council in Washington considerable attention was given to the question of completing the “Ministry of Healing” campaign. A committee was appointed to consider the matter. The resolutions and recommendations of this committee received the unanimous indorsement of the council, and every one present pledged himself to work for the successful completion of this campaign.

The resolutions have already been published. It will be recalled that one recommendation was to the effect that the week immediately following the week of prayer should be especially devoted by all the people to the Relief campaign work. This appointed week is now here. Thousands of books are ready for sale; thousands of people are ready to purchase them; thousands of homes are waiting for the blessings and help this wonderful book will bring; thousands of lives are ready to be changed by incorporating into them the transforming principles outlined in this book.

The great need of this hour is for men and women who will form the connecting link between the book and the people. The people perish for lack of knowledge. They sit in darkness, and know not the way of light. But light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen. A means of communication is needed by which the light in this book may be brought to dispel the darkness of the people. We understand that in the call now being made for workers, Heaven is seeking for the cooperation of those who will be unobstructed channels for the communication of light to the people.

Therefore, this is not any ordinary

call, but one to form a part of a perfect cycle of blessing. It is a call to be the means of blessing men and women in turning them away from their iniquities. It is a call to put within the reach of many the thing dearest to the heart of every man — life, and life more abundantly. It is a call to relieve institutions of a burden of debt that is resting upon them and hindering and hampering them in the beneficent work of helping, blessing, and enlightening suffering and darkened humanity, for which work under God they were established. It is a call to take part in a work which will bring to the participant a blessing that can come in no other way. We have been called upon to do this work. We have pledged ourselves to do it. There is a blessed experience to be received in doing it.

With such tremendous issues at stake, involving the temporal and eternal interests of men and women and the welfare of institutions, there is but one thing to consider in this matter, and that is to engage in this campaign of distributing “Ministry of Healing” with a mighty, concentrated, and cooperative effort. Probably there will be no more appropriate way to pass on the cup of blessing with which God blesses his people during the week of prayer, than by devoting the following week to carrying this light to the people.

The doing of this work will result in light and power and spiritual advancement to every one having a part in it. Brethren and sisters everywhere, let us rise and finish the work. G. T.
