Many doors are now open as they were never opened before. Prejudice vanishes as understanding increases. Questions concerning God's Word and impressions of His truth are freshly in the minds of parents. Many neighbors and friends view Seventh-day Ad- ventists in a more friendly light.

Andrews set sail for Switzerland, our first foreign mission endeavor. Since then thousands of missionaries have left our shores for overseas service. Today there are but few places on earth where our laborers are not giving their ceaseless energies to bring the power of Christ to mankind. But it costs money to conduct such a program as this. The magnitude of the task has been achieved by love, sacrifice and hard work. It can be maintained and advanced only by the same consecrated efforts. Yet, for the past several years there has been a continually widening gap between the income of Seventh-day Adventists and their percentage of giving to mission work. We do not believe that this has resulted because of any lessening interest in foreign missions in particular. Nevertheless, we cannot help but take notice of the fact that while our giving to missions Elder Ralph Martin with Martin Bartrop, Middleton, and David Shaw, percentage-wise has been downward, Caldwell, at the recent "Little Tyke" camp. our number of apostacies has been up- ward. It was the Master Himself who said, "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." When approximately one year ago our church leaders asked us to consider raising our Sabbath school offerings by fifty percent they were not only seeking the needed f u n d s to "push" the gospel truth still deeper into the enemy's territory, they were asking us to receive fifty percent more of heaven's blessings. They were asking us to consider Christ and His great plan of salvation fifty percent more than we were previously doing. They were asking us to put ourselves fifty percent more into saving souls for the kingdom of heaven. True, financial considerations were in the forefront. But is this not true of almost everything in earth? Even when we go to church on Sabbath, someone had to lay out the money to build that house of worship. Someone had to spend long hours of donated Harold Drake, a layman at Twin Falls with a Master's degree in Biology, labor on the building to save all the talking over some interesting specimens with the four boys who won top honors money possible.

A wonderful multitude have responded to the appeal to give fifty percent more in the Sabbath school offerings.
