Washington, D. C.

As will be seen by the list published on page 21, the Washington building fund has now reached the amount of $55,567.23, leaving $44,432.77 to be supplied before the eleventh of May, when the next General Conference begins in Washington. In order to raise the sum needed by that date, there should be weekly donations sent in to the amount of $3,173.76. When it is considered that during the last week we received only $476.33, it is evident that there must be a large increase in order that the work may be done by the time specified. If donations do not come in more rapidly than during the last week, the whole amount would not be supplied until Nov. 16, 1906, more than one year and nine months, but we are assured that there will be an increase. Will not some one head the next list with a donation of one thousand dollars?

The following letter will interest every reader of the REVIEW:—

SAN JOSE, CAL., Jan. 20, 1905.

DEAR BROTHER: I and my wife would like to have a part in the good work in Washington, so please apply the enclosed $3.25 as follows: three dollars for the One Hundred Thousand Dollar Fund and twenty-five cents for the Open Letter tract. The good REVIEW, since the removal to Washington, seems to inspire my heart with fresh love every time I read it. I used to look for Sister White’s article and read it first, but now I find inspiration in every article from cover to cover, and as we comply with the request to pray for the work at headquarters, we find the blessing reverts to ourselves. I only wish we could be of more financial benefit to the cause.

May the good work be speedily finished in righteousness is the earnest prayer of Your brother in the blessed promises,

J. S. WASHBURN.
