A NEW PAGE OF TEXICO
HISTORY HAS BEEN TURNED
—p——
At a recent meeting of the conference
mmittee, among other things which
ceived attention was one which over-
wered all, and that was the question
evangelism,
A re-organization of the work per-
ning to the departments was given
ry careful study, and it was voted to
ice the responsibility of tabulating,
d sending out reports upon the office
rkers, and thus leave the field men
re to do more aggressive evangelism,
: it was felt by all that we have come
a new era in our work, and that we
1st plan for greater soul-winning en-
avor at such a time as we have come
0.
Jn Thursday night preceding the
mmittee session, we began a week-
d meeting in the Hagerman church
ere our committee held its session,
d each evening, a goodly number,
t of our faith, came out to hear the
nple story of the cross, and at the
se of the meeting Sunday night, one
an and his wife, and another strong
ack-smith, came forward and gave
eir hearts to the Lord for the first
ne.
The writer is firmly convinced that
e very spirit of the times in which we
re is stirring the hearts of men and
omen all over the world, and now, as
wver before we must arise and do our
yd-given work with an earnestness
rich has never characterized us be-
re. Nothing is so effective as the
eaching of Christ and Him crucified,
jen, interceding in man’s behalf, and
ming soon to receive His own.
Calls are coming in from all parts of
SOUTHWESTERN UNIMON RECORD
the conference, and many of them from
places where an interest has been
awakened already. These pleas so
stirred the hearts of the committee
members that we decided to launch an
evangelistic program to the very limit
of our ability financially, and if we run
out of funds all expressed their will
ingness to go out and sell books to
support themselves if there was not an
increased income sufficient to keep the
efforts running.
It was believed by all members of
the committee, that if such a spirit
actuated our leaders,
brethren would be impressed to come
forward and say tothe ministers, ‘‘keep
up the good work of preaching the word
and we will see that the laborer is sus-
tained.’’
May the spirit of the Lord move upon
the hearts of all our dear brethren to
rally to the work at this time, and help
us gather the whitening harvest ere
the setting of the sun forever, is the
prayer of yours in His Name.

LAST CALL TO THE FE AST
OF BIG THINGS.
When the call was given for the sup-
per, the Master himself saw that the
guests were all there before the meal
was served, which is a striking lesson
for us who have been called to work in
the Masters’ vineyard. But remember
dear friends, that if we fail to respond
to the call, our room will be occupied
by someone else, for the last shall be
first and the first last, and so it is with
this Big Week call to do our bit in help-
ing the struggling institutions in the
far-a-way lands of earth.
My experience has long since taught
me that we all do just about what we
want to do. If we want to buy an auto-
mobile we buy, whether we have the
money in sight or not; we pay our tithe
when we want to do so, we study our
Sabbath school lesson every day when
we want to do so, more than we want
to do something else, and so it is with
this Big Week, .-we will do just about
what we want to do. My earnest
prayer to God is that every dear Ad-
vent believer in the Texico Conference
will want to do more that he has ever
done in the past, and that no one will
think of doing nothing, for just think
what it will mean for the schools, pub-
lishing houses, sanitariums and dispen-
saries in the field beyond, and then last
but by no means least the good the
books will do your neighbors into whose
many of our
PAGE FIVE
hands you place them, and the percent-
age of increase to the sixty-cents-per-
week you will add besides.
All heaven is interested, the mission
lands are waiting, souls are dying
without Christ, and a great blessing
awaits everyone of us who with our
hearts warmed by the love of this mes-
sage, take the precious literature, ded:
icated to the third angel’s message, and
go forth on the days appointed, doing
our best. In the event of our not be-
ing able to go at the same time others
are going, do not let the enemy cheat
you out of the blessing, but go at the
earliest opportunity, and get the bless-
ing, and bring your sheaves of rejoic-
ing to the church treasurer: but if you
are so situated that you cannot possi-
bly get out into the field this year, do
not be discouraged, for your $2.00 will
square the account.
