The Missions Campaign

CONFERENCE                               DATE OF REACHING GOAL

All will be glad to see West Virginia added to our roll of honor. This is good. The telegram came Monday evening of last week. This means that 172 members have gathered in their proportion ($264.88) and more, which is as large a task as for a conference of 2,000 members to harvest $3,808. Four conferences at least have said by deeds that $100,000 for missions is a possibility during our 1913 Ingathering.

The president of the New York Conference, Elder W. H. Holden, writes that the church at Syracuse has realized its aim — $100 for missions.

A young sister in Michigan was greatly encouraged by receiving a letter from a person in Panama to whom she had sent a paper; the letter stated that he had not had time as yet to read all the paper, but had found $10 worth so far, for which amount a check was enclosed.

Over three fifths of a million of these mission-filled papers have been printed and sent out. This seed of the kingdom has fallen into thousands of homes. No one will ever know in this life the great good that has been accomplished by this united service on the part of God's people. Let us pray that many souls may be won to Christ as a result of this noble endeavor. As soon as possible, the total amount raised throughout the whole field will be given. T. E. BOWEN.
