A Worthy Example

By W. T. Knox

The readers of the Review will be interested in a telegram received at the General Conference Office from our brethren in Nebraska, which shows that that conference is the first one of all the conferences of North America to complete the work assigned to it in raising a definite portion of the $300,000 Fund. The telegram is as follows:—

“This is a day of thanksgiving in the Nebraska Conference. We remit our last on the $300,000 Fund. Our share was $12,080. All have done nobly. Our courage is good, and we are ready to take up the next big thing to help finish the work.”

It will be seen readily by this that not only has the full amount been provided for, but the money actually remitted to the General Conference through the Central Union treasury. We hope that this example may be rapidly followed by all the conferences concerned, in order that the recommendation made at the Friedensau council of closing up this campaign, shall be carried out in the present year. If this can be done, it will be a great help and an encouragement, not only to the General Conference Committee, but to our brethren in foreign fields.

W. T. Knox.
