DOES THIS NEED APPEAL TO YOU?
By Editor
We make no pathetic appeal to our friends. We believe the simple facts of our awful loss are more eloquent than any words. Never before was the Pacific Press more needed than right now. Never before were its types, its presses, demanded as now. Devoted servants of God are saying, "Let us rise up and build." Neh. 2:18. God's providence is saying 'Rise up and build.' The needs of the work are saying, "Build the house, and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified," and the needs of perishing souls are crying, "Let not their hands be slack." Brother, friend, we want your help. Some have already nobly responded in gifts and pledges: July 23, on the Oakland camp ground, $8,014.75; Mr. and Mrs. James Turner, three Wellington typewriters, $180; Mrs. Smith, two bound volumes of Our Little Friend. The Oakland donation will increase. The Signs of the Times will acknowledge all that is sent. Read this paper and respond as the spirit of God bids you.
