More About the Missionary Campaign
By Editor
NOR is the Pacific Coast going to be left out of this blessed Missionary Campaign. Already our forces are wheeling into line for the conflict; and while to some of our number the heights to be gained by its first battle look almost insurmountable, we are praying, and we believe that, like the servant of Elisha of old, they may behold the "horses and chariots of fire 'round about'" them, and by beholding they will be assured of victory. Our Missionary Campaign Committee have gotten out a missionary bulletin, on the last page of which they make the following appeal: To Those Bearing Responsibilities in the Pacific Union Conference,— Dear Brethren and Sisters: From the preceding pages you will notice that we have come to the time of the great Missionary Campaign, planned for by the last General Conference. This means that definite responsibilities must be placed upon men and women in the home churches. In the words of counsel given to Moses, "Moreover thou shalt provide out of all people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens." You, Brother Church Elder, you, Sister Church Librarian, you, Brother Sabbath-school Superintendent, and you, Brother or Sister Sabbath-school Teacher, have been selected by virtue of your position in church or Sabbath-school as a leader, and now the Lord appeals to you to unite your forces and march forward. There are three definite victories to be gained during the next four weeks. Listen to them. 1. The placing of the Review and Herald in every Sabbath-keeping family. 2. The purchase of at least a pound of the Signs of the Times Leaflets by every Seventh-day Adventist, to be used during the remainder of the Campaign. 3. The training of thousands, through this great missionary movement, to become PERMANENT WORKERS in the Lord's whitening harvest fields. These are simple, definite steps. As leaders of our hundreds, fifties, or tens, let us take these steps now. Let this be a movement without a rear column. H. H. Hall

We believe the above appeal will be generally heeded, and hope the circulation of the bulletin containing it will bring hope and inspiration to our people everywhere. Copies may be obtained by addressing our Secretary, Mr. A. J. S. Bourdeau, Mountain View, Cal.3 "But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the Gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts."
