The Third Appeal

By J. S. WASHBURN

THOSE who have obeyed the call of God in response to the appeals of the spirit of prophecy to send help for the building up of the work in Washington do not regret that they have heard and answered the call. In the Testimony given by Sister White, written at Nashville, Tenn., June 4, 1904, is found the following statement: “The message must be proclaimed in Washington, and must go from that place to the other cities of the South.” And now the time has come for the message to go to the other cities of the South. In a Testimony just received, dated Sanitarium, Cal., July 20, 1905, I find the following definite instruction: “The work in Washington is important and essential, and great efforts have been made to call the attention of our people to that field, but now the Lord would have us consider the work in the South.” This is definite and clear. Another article on this page fully explains the situation.
We joyfully obey this, the latest call, and we shall open at once a fund for the South. The five thousand dollars has already been appropriated for the church in Nashville, and now, with the utmost confidence, we appeal to our loyal people who have so cheerfully and quickly supplied more than enough (1) to pay for the Memorial church here in Washington, and (2) a surplus above the one hundred thousand dollars called for for Washington, to respond to this, the third appeal. The South is in great need of immediate help. We ask our people who are not weary in well-doing to supply the great need that appeals to us pathetically from that field. God’s blessing will certainly fall upon those who hear and answer. We believe there are those who are waiting to head the list of donations to be opened in the REVIEW with gifts of from one hundred to one thousand dollars. What a blessed privilege to have a part in the work of the remnant people who “keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”
