The Washington Work Fund
By Editor
THE recommendation of the General Conference that the effort to raise funds for the establishment of the work in Washington should be continued in order to provide a portion of the money required for the erection of a printing plant for the Review and Herald Publishing Association was fully presented in last week's REVIEW, by Elder A. G. Daniells. It is with great satisfaction that we announce this week that the stream of gifts is still flowing in, and that nearly one fourth of the surplus suggested is already in hand. Those who have been waiting to do something at the finish, or whose circumstances have been such that they have not been able up to this time to send a donation for the Washington work, will now have an opportunity to help in closing up this campaign quickly. Surely all the people will desire to have some share in co-operating with the divine purpose in establishing this work in Washington. Never have God's providences been clearer in connection with his work. Never have there been more marked indications of his direct leadership. All these experiences indicate the nearness of the end, and are a call of God to his people to faithful effort in hastening his work in the earth. The time has now come to provide a suitable place for printing our periodicals and books, and the erection of such a building will be undertaken at once. The strictest economy will be practised, and no provision will be made beyond the demands of our denominational work. It will strengthen the hands and increase the courage of those who are charged with the responsibility of carrying out the counsel of the spirit of prophecy in re-establishing the headquarters at this place to know that the whole people are sustaining them both by their prayers and by their gifts. A united and consecrated people, with earnest and devoted leaders, can be instrumental in accomplishing the divine will, and thus in hastening the coming of the Master's kingdom. So let it be.
