A Suggestion We venture to suggest to all our readers whovhowho intend to make special gifts to missions during the Centennial yearyear not to wait until they are begged for the money How delightful itit would be to hear that all over the country the people were seeking their pastors and handing them their Centennial gifts We venture toto say that if this were done many a timid pastor who is almost afraidafraid to call on his people for extra gifts this year so hard a year as it is
