Hope for the Message’s Speedy Triumph

In a report from Brother S. S. Shrock, printed in the Atlantic Union Gleaner, we find the following paragraph: “I find our dear people, as a rule, faithful, and of good cheer. The late removal of our denominational headquarters to Washington, D. C., is giving the people new courage and hope for the speedy triumph of the message.” The feeling is general throughout the field, and we believe that the Lord himself has implanted this hope. Through our individual faith and consecration this hope can be realized, and we can enter into the joy of our Lord. Let us each accept our share of the responsibility for hastening the great consummation.

India and the Gospel Message

By Editor

WE hope our readers will enjoy the picture on the first page of this issue. It is an effort to reproduce for their benefit a view the original of which but few can expect to see. But the grandeur of the scenery does not lead the people to a knowledge of the gospel message.

“In vain with lavish kindness The gifts of God are strown; The heathen in his blindness, Bows down to wood and stone.”

Every view in India and every thought of India only emphasizes the need of hastening the work of this message among the millions of that country. We are thankful that a good beginning has been made there, and we look for a harvest of great proportions from the seed sown.

Mission Offerings in the Home

Why not keep up the weekly offerings in the home, even though isolated from those of like precious faith? It will be an inspiration to prayer and increased activity to hasten the coming of the King. And the little gifts from families, like rivulets flowing together, will create a large stream of benevolence that will be an important factor in the final work.

A brother, sending five dollars for foreign missions, writes: “My wife and I have decided to take up the ten-cent-a-week plan for the support of foreign missions. We believe this is a duty every Seventh-day Adventist owes to God, and to his fellow men in the regions beyond who know not the saving power of the third angel’s message. It may be that the providence of God will call us to some dark corner of the harvest field in the future. If so, our prayer is that we may be in such an attitude when he speaks, that we may respond, ‘Lord, here am I: send me.’ The inclosed five dollars is for five months, beginning with July.” Let us hear from others.
