It is a pleasure to announce that the

roilment and is getting along nicely in
their work.
Elder Gates writes us that several of
the members of the Corsicana church
are on the sick list. He hopes that
they will soon be up again and they
plan then to push hard the Ingathering
work. :
Word just received from Sister Geo.
May of Waco, telling us they are push-

WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BE?
The treasurer’s report for September
showed $347.07 already received this
year on the Harvest Ingathering goal.
As he had not received anything on the
Harvest Ingathering goal at the close
of September last year it gives as the
advantage of that much start on our
goal this year. Now let us all put our
shoulders to the wheel and give it a
good push so we can keep it rolling for
you know after we get the wheels to
rolling we can roll it over a mountain
if we have enough power behind it. Je-
sus says, ‘“‘All power in heaven and
earth is given unto me...and lo I am
with you, even unto the end of the
world.’’ With Jesus’ help and the un-
ited efforts of our loyal people of
the North Texas Conference I know
we can reach our goal.
Waco reports $43.75 this week placing
her far in the lead of any church in the
conference whose reports have reached
us so far, making her a total of $187.60.
This is fine for Waco, but Gainesville
makes a good showing for a little
church of only fifteen members with
considerably over half of their goal
already reached. They set their goal
at $10.00 per member which would be
$150.00. With $84.00 already received
you see they are the first church to get
started on the down hill run. We hope
the $9.00 they have on the last half
of their goal will give them such a boost
that they will not stop until they go
“over the top.”” But there are some oth-
ers who ore working just as faithfully
in some of the other churches, their
amounts may not be so large, nor
their percentage so high, but they are
doing all they can. What they need is
the combined efforts of all their breth-
ren and sisters, for you know ‘in unity
there is strength.”” Will you not,
dear brethren and sisters, ‘‘unite your
efforts with those of the ministers and
church officers’ and thus help us to
finish the work. ‘Lift up your eyes
and look, behold the fields are white
already to harvest.” What will the
harvest be? The answer depends upon
the response af the reapers. May
the Lord help us do our very best.

dren attending our schools.
Brother Kirkham was in the office

gain his strength and.,be at his usual

Interesting reports come to.the office

ance continues good and the interest is
. growing. The third week in October
will bring in the deeiding truths. .That
week will largely determine who will
obey.

The conference shortage i ip missions
is $5910.04. If every .member .of the
conference would.pay as much as $31.00
to missions during .the entire year, the
goal would bereached. Is that asking
too much foryou to give to missions?
