Washington, D. C

By J. S. Washburn

THE famous emancipation monument, a picture of which was published on the first page of the REVIEW of June 8, is situated in one of the pleasantest parks of Washington, Lincoln Park. Within two minutes' walk of this park and in the sight of the monument a tent has been erected in southeast Washington, where, thus far, but very little if any work has been done in the way of holding meetings. This is a very pleasant, homelike part of the city, with an excellent class of people. Our first meeting was held on Thursday evening, June 29, and the prospect for a successful series of meetings is very encouraging. We ask our brethren and sisters to pray that the Lord may do a great spiritual work here in Washington. He has greatly blessed in providing means for the building up of his institutions. Now we pray that he may still more significantly manifest the power of the truth of the third angel's message to convert and to save.
The Washington fund at the end of last week had reached the amount of $105,247.37. We pray that every reader of the REVIEW may realize the importance of quickly providing the means to build our publishing house here in this city. Remember that not one cent of the Washington fund up to the amount of one hundred thousand dollars has been applied to the building of the Review and Herald office. If every subscriber to the REVIEW would send one dollar at once for this purpose, the fund would be immediately supplied, and there are certainly those who would be glad to do more than this to make up for those who do not feel able to give even so small an amount. We believe the work is only fairly begun in this city. The fact that the great peace conference between Japan and Russia is to be held here will bring Washington before the eyes of the world. More than ever before, Washington is becoming a city that is set upon an hill. May the light shine here with true and clear radiance. J. S. WASHBURN.
