Second Sabbath Missionary Service

At the city evangelists' institute held in Washington, D. C., several workers representing different parts of the field urged the great value of the second Sabbath missionary service in creating in the churches a live interest in the cause of missions. Elder J. L. McElhany, the president of the District of Columbia Conference, told of his experience in bringing the Sabbath offerings of one church with which he was connected from five dollars up to fifteen dollars a Sabbath through the use of these readings. Other brethren testified to similar experiences. It would be well for our church officers to consider if the giving of a live missionary program in their churches every second Sabbath, obtaining such help from the Second Sabbath Readings as they might require, would not prove valuable in bringing up the offerings to foreign missions.
