To the Work

By William A. Spicer

THE flowing tide of missionary interest is still with us. The treasurer of the Mission Board reports the offerings for missions during the third quarter of this year as $34,047.57. The receipts for the corresponding quarter last year were $32,315. The gifts of Iowa and Nebraska, from the tithe fund, are two special items in the quarter reported.

The conferences and mission fields are lining up for a steadfast policy of businesslike and Christian finance that shall roll back the reproach of debt, and set a people free to quickly carry a message from God to the world. The set time is come to go forward, and the pillar of fire and of cloud is leading on to the finished work and the promised land. Now is the time for the consecration of life and of all to the evangelization of the world in this generation. W. A. S.

The July Offering for Christiania

By Arthur Grosvenor Daniells

What may be considered fairly complete returns from the July offerings for Christiania have now been received by the Mission Board. No doubt more or less money will continue to come in for several months yet, as was the case last year. But the larger portion of the gifts is undoubtedly in.

Up to October 23 we had received $13,103. The receipts for the same period last year were about $15,000, and this was added to during the winter and spring until about $18,000 was received.

While the returns this year are not so large as they were last year during the same period, and are much below the amount called for, yet under all the circumstances they are very encouraging. About thirty-six thousand dollars had already been contributed toward this fund. During the last year many calls for live, progressive work have been made to our people. These calls for fresh operations are of a more encouraging character than is the Christiania affair, and naturally receive a heartier response.

But we have great reason to praise God for the blessings that have attended our efforts to do our duty in the payment of the Christiania bills. Four payments of eleven thousand dollars each have been made, and we have it to record that not one payment has been a minute late in reaching the hands of the lawyer who has charge of the business. We now have enough in the treasury to make the fifth payment, which will be due Jan. 1, 1903. Only one payment after that will have to be made. Then the great burden we assumed two years ago will have been removed, we shall have proved true to our fellow men in Christiania, and they will have all the money they advanced to our publishing house. Furthermore, their confidence in our Christian fairness and honesty will have been fully established. In fact, it seems to have been fully established already. Our assuming the obligations we did without being legally compelled to do so, and after they had agreed to take a small per cent, is a great marvel to them. This is a cause of great joy to our brethren in Christiania. They can walk the streets of their city knowing that they have the fullest confidence of their fellow citizens, as a truly upright people.

As we contemplate the unspeakable blessings that have come to the cause of God as a result of meeting this financial trial as we have, only praise and thanksgiving can rise up in our hearts for the help our God has given us since we placed our shoulders under what seemed an almost crushing load. Any further help that any reader of this article may desire to render will be thankfully received by the Mission Board.

Praise God for the victory so far.

A. G. DANIELLS.

Missionary Review of the World Topics

THOSE interested in the spiritual conditions of the coal miners, the neglected Indians of central Brazil, the crisis in China, the progress of American Indians, or the romance of missions on the frontier, will find articles dealing with these topics in The Missionary Review of the World for November.

The Life Boat Mission

By John Harvey Kellogg

NINE years ago a providential circumstance led to the establishment of the Life Boat Mission in Chicago. The daughter of a wealthy Chicago banker on her death bed required of her father the promise that he would employ a Sanitarium nurse to work in the neglected districts of Chicago. This nurse was furnished, and the salary paid week by week was used to support not only the nurse, but another nurse, and thus the Chicago mission work began. A little basement was secured at Custom House Place in 1893. Here Drs. Rand and Kress, who were then medical students, spent their summer vacation, and did a noble work for the Lord. There are men now engaged in active work for the advancement of the gospel of truth who were rescued from the lowest depths of degradation through the work done by these faithful missionaries.

The work has gone on steadily developing from that time to the present; and although little has been said about the work for several years past, it has steadily prospered and extended its usefulness, and a mighty soul-saving work has been accomplished. The Life Boat monthly, the organ of the mission, has from the first steadily grown until its circulation now reaches from forty thousand to fifty thousand, and thousands of men and women have testified of the saving influence of the gospel received through its pages. Every night in the year an interesting meeting is held in the Life Boat Mission, in one of the most conspicuous and needy places in Chicago. Not less than twenty thousand men and women hear the gospel, many for the first time in their lives, at this mission every year. It costs but little to support it. The rent is one hundred and fifty dollars a month. Those in charge of the work receive little compensation. Just now the mission is much in need of help. A steady income of one hundred dollars a month is needed to keep it going during the next year. Are there not one hundred persons who would like to have a part in this good work, the influence of which is extended around the world? Dr. Paulson, Brother Van Dorn, and others have devoted much time and energy to the carrying forward of this work during the last few years, and have made many sacrifices in its behalf. Those who desire to help may send their pledge to the Life Boat Mission, 436 State St., Chicago, Ill.

California Camp Meeting Report

BRETHREN A. G. DANIELLS and E. R. Palmer returned from California last week. They speak of the California camp meeting as a most interesting one, the keynote of which was the message to the world quickly. Liberal appropriations of means were made, and a large list of workers, to be supported by the conference, was recommended to the mission fields. We shall present a full report later.

The Sure Results

A CHURCH elder writes: “In this church the weekly offering envelopes are a great aid in keeping the needs of the field before us. During the past quarter there has been over seven dollars paid in through the envelopes, besides, all our other offerings have increased.”

From another church the librarian sends the following good report: “I am glad to report that the envelopes are proving most satisfactory. Our offerings last quarter almost doubled the previous quarter’s. At present there is more of a missionary spirit in our church than I have ever seen before. For this we praise the dear Lord, and give him all the glory.”

This is the very experience that we shall have in every church when a more liberal, self-denying, self-sacrificing spirit is manifested toward the work in the regions beyond. No other investment will bring richer returns.
