I am so grateful for the faithful work being done by our pastors, their wives, and the laymen. I was inspired to find in each of the churches I helped this week that there are such faithful, enthusiastic laymen who are 70 and 80 years of age out every night in bad weather. This is dedication that God is honoring. As every member of every church does his best, God will honor that effort with souls and funds too. We are happy to see nice gains in each conference this week. Only two conferences show a loss over this week last year. We are certain by next week they will again be in the gain column. Because of your faithful effort the union shows a gain of $5,015.41. Let us keep up the good work for our God. Howard H.
