L.L.Reile, President
It always seemed to me that Camp Meeting and the Week of Prayer were the two most important periods of my yearly calendar. Both weeks had deep spiritual significance, so they were central in my life. I hope both are vital to you.
This year the Week Of Prayer begins on Sabbath, October 30, and ends on November 6. May it bring real victory to you. We are in danger of permitting this important week to slip away without our becoming better acquainted with the Lord. Ancient Israel was to prepare for the first advent of our Lord.---They failed. We are to prepare for the second advent of Jesus.--What will our record be?
One of the highlights of the Week of Prayer is the offering taken on the closing Sabbath—known as the Week of Sacrifice Offering. This plan includes sacrifice. We deprive ourselves of something, then give the savings as an offering. Others follow the custom of giving that week's income. It is a pleasure to give to God. You cannot outgive Him.
When Jesus comes, His saints will be gathered, "those that have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice." Psalms 50:5.
This offering is a time when we can take inventory, then try to balance accounts with God. Permit me to invite you into the fellowship of sacrifice for God. Items from the Canadian Union Office
