The Midsummer Offering

By T. E. Bowen

For several years past our Midsummer Offering to missions has been held early in July. Inasmuch as this year the last Sabbath in June, the twenty-ninth, will be used by the Sabbath-schools in making special gifts to the work in Africa, it has seemed best to the General Conference Committee to place the Midsummer Offering a little later, and it has been appointed to be held Sabbath, July 27. Readings will be sent the churches for this occasion, none being sent out, however, for the second Sabbath of July.
July 27 will in very fact be about midsummer, and as this offering comes at a time when it is difficult for the mission treasury to keep up remittances to the fields, it is to be hoped every conference will begin early to plan for a liberal offering to missions on that occasion. T. E. BOWEN.
