The Church Building for London

By I. H. EVANS

At the late council held in Loma, Linda, Elder W. J. Fitzgerald, president of the British Union Conference, made an earnest appeal setting forth the need for a church building in London. He asked the Division Conference to donate ten thousand dollars to this purpose, and said that the British field would make up the remainder, and provide a suitable building in which general meetings could be held, and in which our people could assemble to hold important councils.
The Division Conference, under the advice of the General Conference, voted to raise ten thousand dollars for this purpose. It was understood that this should not apply on the Twenty-cent-a-week Fund. Some thought that those who have money that they can spare without feeling it, would be glad to contribute more or less toward this fund. Already the Northern Union Conference has contributed one thousand dollars, the Review and Herald has given five hundred, and individuals have given in smaller sums. So we have about seventeen hundred dollars already pledged to this splendid work. But in a recent letter, Elder Fitzgerald says that our people in Great Britain are very anxious to have this fund in hand, that they may secure the building at an early date. We wish that all who feel the importance of answering this call would contribute to this fund. It ought to be raised by the first of October, so that the brethren in Great Britain can have the use of the money. All donations should be sent direct to Elder W. T. Knox, Takoma Park, D. C.
The need is certainly great, for in all Great Britain there is not a suitable place for our people to assemble. They are especially in need of this meetinghouse for general meetings, and gatherings that must be held where the work is growing as it is in the British field. We therefore hope that the Division Conference will soon be able to pass this fund over in full to the General Conference for the purpose above named. I. H. EVANS.
