Washington, D. C.

By J. S. Washburn

We are thankful to state that there has been an encouraging increase in the amount of donations to the Washington building fund during the last week. The list at present stands at $63,492.01, leaving $36,507.99, yet to be raised, which we hope will be furnished by the time of the meeting of the General Conference on the eleventh of May.

We have just received also a most earnest appeal from Sister White for the work in Washington, from which I will quote a few words. The whole article will probably appear later:—

“‘ELMSHAVEN,’ SANITARIUM, CAL.,

“March 30, 1905.

“DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS: I am greatly burdened because the money needed for the completion of our school building and sanitarium at Takoma Park, comes in slowly. The Lord has said that these institutions should be put in working order as soon as possible. We have no time to lose.

“And I address all our church-members. Not merely to a few, but to all, has the Lord entrusted talents, and from each one, according to his several ability, he expects returns. The rapidly increasing wickedness in the world testifies plainly that the end of all things is at hand.”
