Pray for the Work in Spain

Last week the following brethren sailed for Europe, to attend the biennial council of the General Conference Committee: A. G. Daniells, E. T. Russell, R. A. Underwood, W. B. White, R. C. Porter, Frederick Griggs, G. F. Haffner, Wm. Covert, W. J. Fitzgerald, H. E. Rogers. Thus the Central, Lake, Northern, Southwestern, North Pacific, and Atlantic Union Conferences are represented by one delegate each, while the foreign and educational departments are also represented.

There is a call from our faithful, hard-pressed laborers in Spain that we remember them and their work at the throne of grace. There is probably no more difficult field in all the world for the proclamation of “this gospel of the kingdom” than the kingdom of Spain; but Spain must hear the message, it must bear its witness there before the work is finished. Our force in Spain is small, but with the earnest prayers of a believing and united people going up to the Source of all power in their behalf, great victories are assured. We can not all go to Spain, but we can all pray for those who have gone and those who will yet go, and for willingness to go ourselves, there or elsewhere, when God shall call. Let us not forget the plea; for the culmination of this great work is hastened or hindered by our attitude toward calls like this.

Finishing the Work

By Editor

We trust that all our people are following from week to week the steady, though slow, growth of the $150,000 fund. The time has come now when every church in the denomination should “put its shoulder to the wheel,” and work for the speedy closing up of that fund. It means simply one good, faithful effort in each church, and the thing is done. We have yet to hear of a single church that has had to take the matter up a second time when it had been thus presented. We have been compassing this mountain long enough. We know the grand total will come—it will come because the work needs it, and the work and the people are one.

Let each church that has not yet done so set a definite date when it will do its part in this blessed undertaking. The Southern Union Conference has appointed May 4 as the date when each church in that union conference will bring in its apportionment of the fund. We have no doubt they will sing their jubilee song over the accomplishment of the task on that date. Why may not all our churches join in that song on that day? We lose very much of the blessing when we procrastinate. Giving late, we give less, even though we give the same amount—paradoxical as it may seem—and decrease the blessing to both giver and receiver. The churches that have made up their quota of the fund can now turn their attention to other things, and there is a satisfaction in knowing that our part is done. Having done it cheerfully and willingly, these scriptures have a new ring to them: “The Lord loveth a cheerful giver;” “He that watereth shall be watered also himself.” Let it not be said of any of us that we “came not up to the help of the Lord, . . . against the mighty.”

Again we say, Let a date be set, and not too far away, and then as far as possible let each member come prepared to do a little more than his share. Carrying that kind of armament, we shall make an onslaught upon the task that will send up the shout of victory around the world, and we shall see an advance in the progress of the cause that will warm the heart of every lover of the third angel’s message.

Address Mail to Argentine Conference

WHEN writing to any of our workers located at Buenos Ayres, Argentina, make sure to address them in care of Argentine Conference. The number, “Casilla 481,” is not sufficient to insure certain delivery of the mail.

Caribbean Watchman Earthquake Special

By Editor

WE are pleased to greet the Earthquake Special of the Caribbean Watchman. It contains numerous illustrations of the great Jamaica disaster, and is filled with excellent articles teaching the significance of these things, and voicing the warnings and invitations of God's Word for these times. We hope for it a wide use by our people everywhere.

Tent-Meeting Articles in The Watchman

The Watchman (Nashville, Tenn.) will soon begin a series of what might be called tent-meeting articles on the themes of present truth, presenting the various phases of the message as they would be presented in a series of tent-meetings. It is expected that whoever reads these will receive the same benefit he would from attendance through a series of such meetings. This arrangement will enable the paper to accomplish great good wherever circulated.

A Grand Rally

The plan for a grand rally, to increase the circulation of the Signs of the Times is no longer an uncertain or untried plan. It has already begun to work, and in this initial working gives evidence of a vigor which we trust will abide with it till the end sought has been accomplished. On Sabbath, March 16, the matter was taken up in the San Francisco and San Jose churches with encouraging results. It was a very disagreeable day in both places, and only a small portion of the membership at either place was in attendance. The sixty present at the San Francisco service subscribed for 809 sets of the Signs special series. This was an average of more than thirteen sets a member. At the San Jose church, only about fifty of the one hundred members being present, over three hundred sets of the twenty-six special issues were taken. But this is only the beginning, and it is expected that many more sets will be taken by both these churches. Fifty-eight workers at the Pacific Press have taken seven hundred and fifty sets, an average of a little less than thirteen each.

Now these sets of special Signs are taken for business, the greatest business in the world just now, the business of giving to the people of this generation God’s last warning message. As a people we are united upon the importance of that business. As a people we must rise, then, and do the work for this time. As a people let us ask ourselves this question face to face, “Have I so faithfully warned my neighbors and friends and relatives that I shall feel safe to meet the record of my work in the day of judgment?” If not, here is the most effective opportunity of doing that work that has ever come to us. You can send a preacher twenty-six consecutive weeks into the home of that neighbor or friend or relative at a cost that is insignificant when compared with the services rendered. Let us take hold of the work with both hands — not leaning on it, but lifting. God will bless the effort and the lifters. He has already done so. The campaign has already begun to show what it can accomplish by the unifying and vivifying results that have followed its introduction.
