Continue the Good Work
By J. S. Washburn
We trust all have read the article by Elder Daniells in the REVIEW of June 9 setting forth the special need of the Review and Herald Publishing Association at this time, and the fact that at the General Conference it was voted “that the first fifteen thousand dollars received on the One Hundred Thousand Dollar Fund above the one hundred thousand dollars be turned over to the Review and Herald Publishing Association.” We know that every reader of the REVIEW has felt as much interest in the prosperity of the Review and Herald Publishing Association, and has been as anxious that it should be able to accomplish its work in its new location, as he has that the sanitarium, school, and General Conference offices should be built here in Washington, D. C. The Lord has given a glorious victory to his people in the matter of raising one hundred thousand dollars, but this amount, all will understand, does not go toward the building of the Review and Herald publishing house. The REVIEW is published in a rented office, where there is considerable expense that might be saved if we were in our own building. The land for this purpose was bought several months ago, and it is earnestly desired that the office building be erected immediately. I am sure our dear brethren and sisters are not weary in well-doing, but will rejoice to help forward this work. The Washington fund, according to our list, has reached the sum of $102,187.61, but, as stated in last week's REVIEW, there are further donations in the treasurer's hand not yet listed. Note the following letter:— “EDEN MILLS, VT. “DEAR BROTHER: We enclose a small donation, two dollars, duplicate of one we sent some months ago. Should all who have donated repeat their donations, you would have money enough and to spare. O that the liberality of this people might equal that of the Israelites when they brought their offerings to build the tabernacle, that the offerings might pour in till the people would have to be restrained!” We hope many others will feel it a privilege to duplicate their donations that the further amount desired may be quickly supplied.
