at the national convention of the

of erecting fifty much needed build
ingS and to enlarge the general fund
of 100000.
This is a great achievement for
one year and there is rejoicing around
the world. Many have realized the
blessing of making large gifts. Mis-
sionaries, at home and abroad, are re-
joicing that their equipment is to be
enlarged, that they will have comfort
able homes, and that waiting volun
teers will soon be permitted to go to
their chosen fields.
THE orphans and aged of our own
land will be better housed Truly,
when great things are attempted for
God, great things may be expected.
Not only will the missionaries and
their fields be blessed but the lives of
all who contributed to this great cause
have been enriched and deeper in
terest for Others is felt The whole
brotherhood is blessed and has been
brought closer together. Our little
sisters across the seas do not seem
so far away now
