SonBridge~1936 The Promise of the Father by Charles Watson SDA GC President

Description: Charles Watson, the author of this book was the only Australian to be voted as the General Conference president. His term, 1930 through 1936, was arguably the most difficult period because of the Great Depression years. Funds deteriorated to such an extent that the next General Conference session, due in 1934, was postponed until 1936, when conditions looked brighter. In his 1936 world report Charles spoke of the Depression as “a veritable Red Sea of financial difficulty.” Annual income slumped by millions of dollars. Not until 1935 did the situation begin to improve. He was pleased to say that they had not borrowed money but had, instead, made drastic reductions with expenditure and allocations. Other statistics were more favorable. For example, during 1930 through 1934 world membership rose by ninety thousand individuals, one thousand new churches were built, and mission stations were established in 184 new countries and islands.31 Follow us at SonBridge Thrift and Gift because we have many books of this type.
