Forty Thousand More than Last Year
By James Cochran
WE have never before seen such an interest and such a strong determination displayed on the part of the friends of missions as is manifest in the present Harvest Ingathering campaign. The workers in our publishing houses, schools, sanitariums, and other denominational institutions, as well as general workers and ministers, are setting the pace this year. This has had an electrifying influence throughout the field. The entire ministerial force of Chicago placed $50 as a minimum to be raised by each. Thousands throughout the country have placed a high mark to attain, some as much as $100. Reports indicate that many are not only reaching the goal, but have already gone far beyond. Forty conferences and six union conferences have now called for more Ingathering Papers than they used all told last season. 724,342 copies have been ordered to date. This is 41,279 more than were used in the campaign last season. We have received another carload of paper, and are in a position to supply Ingathering SIGNS to the amount of 1,000,000 copies or more if called for. JAMES COCHRAN, Circulation Manager.
