WEEK OF 9I;LF-DENIAL, The following appeal is being made to the Church by the foreign lllission Committee, on behalf of the Mission woke. Toronto, Feb., 25th 1897. To the Members of Session:•--- DCtat L ETHltrv,-Tho indebted ness of the Foreign Mission Commit- tee (\V, D.) at this date is $46,642.00 Adding to this the salaries due Missionaries and other charges ($24. 000,0) to the 30th of April, it will be Been that $$69,500.00, must be got during the months of March and Aral, to enable the Committee toend ithe•ehureh years free from debt. Least year in these two months the -sum of $39,000.00 was got. This in- •cluded the contributions from the W. F. M. S. Assuming that the -sante amount will be got in March and April this year, the Fund will be in debt $30,500,00 on the SOth of April. To meet this indebtedness the Committee affectionately, but must earnestly appeal to the congre- gations of the church for special con. ',libations. This amount cannot be got with out a general ef'f'ort being made thoroughout the encircle. Last year the total amount received from the congregations of the church for tele whole year for Foreign Missions was $30,141.00. From this it will at once be seen that it is only by a very special and a very general effort that the amount can be ob- tained. Sabbath, March, 21st is the you niay:tinti•tiwe to o)me and see foe yourself. tWe can make you glad If you day appointed by the General assem- give its a chance. bly for the annual collection on be- half of the Foreign Missions. After careful consideration the Committee have decided to appeal to all the congregations of the Church to set apart the week beginning March, 14 as a week of special prayer, and special effort on behalf of the Foreign Missions of the church, Tftev:urgent- request every Session, through its minister, to bring the matter .before their congregadon on March Lath, and to bold special meetings during the week for prayer, sand fi,r emphasiz- ing the urgent need a the Fund at :the present ,juucture. The Committee think it proper to :state that the present emergeney :does not arise because of diminished eswntributions on the part of the :CIiureh, fur these, are fully. .equal to hat they. wereat the corresponding peened last year. The indebtedness arises partly because of the dimin- ution in the amount received from legacies, and especially because of the exfwtusion of the woe k within the past eighteen • months. The committee were must unwilling to to decline offers of service from men and women who felt called to the work. They were also unwilling not to avail themselves of' openings in several of the fields for the ex- -pension of the work. They may have gone too far, yet they cannot believe but that the c ;lurch will come to there help, and provide them with the funds necessary, so that their engagements with the • Mission. toles may be implemented this year, and the work curtailed as little as possible in the year to "come. Surely it is more creditable to the Church, and more in accordance with the mind of the Master, that we may enter into the new dors that are being opened in the province of God, in conneeti.n with the fields in which our work is carried t.n. Believing th yon may share our siewa in this neater, tee confidential- ly ask your cordial • and prayerful co operation in this special effort. 1Ve feel assured that if toe people connec- ed with our church ase grade ac- (uainted with the situation, and are kindly appealed to by pastors, the response -will not be disappoint - iii . lit view of the large amount required to be railed, before the :11)t11 of April, we take alae liberty of star erring that, iu,tea:i of resting sets -tied witih a sp•eihl S,ubath col- lection, tt personal canvas; he made ofall•the meinbe•s in your congre• gati:ni, Should this be Inexi)edient in arnv congregation, we are prepay - 'I tag furnish special eut elupen in such nemliers 85 may be required for tiiatribathe; , prior to the 21st of ilareh, so that t'tey suety be returned ar.t I,hat day 0:1 tele e,i!eetion plate, We oleo take the liberty of sag- gesting that tate auesioikaliiottld brbnlg the urgent need, of t.h8 and before the Sabbath School, illhie Classes and Christi: n Endeavor Societies with tag view to their 11e trey . cooper- • ;Won.
