We believe that if we do the work to which God has called us, he will
move the hearts of his children to provide the money. By as much as our
work is successful, it is expansive. They are following closely in the
steps of the Master who are teaching and ministering unto the needy and
the poor. We are confident that they can safely trust in his word, "Seek
ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things
shall be added unto you." If God sends our workers out he will send
supplies. There is no limit to the measure in which God can work on
Christian hearts, to move his children to give for those who have gone
forth to "seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness."

While God is abundantly blessing our work in our great and wide fields
among four races, we may safely ask our Christian friends to appeal to
him that we shall have not only the needful funds to carry on the work
without debt, but also enough to enable us to enter the doors which he
opens. We are needing _eight thousand dollars_ to keep our accounts
balanced, and we ask those, in whose names we stand, to pray that all
these things be added unto us. Has any pastor forgotten to take the
collection?
