A Practical Suggestion

[THE following letter from a brother in the Central West is worthy of earnest attention. There is a significance in the fact that our brethren in different parts of the field are being aroused to provide without delay the means needed for establishing the work in Washington. Let us finish this undertaking at once.—ED.]
“DEAR REVIEW: I was deeply stirred by the articles in last week’s REVIEW from Sister E. G. White and Elder S. N. Haskell. I believe, if the effort were made, every dollar could be raised by May 11. Now is the time for those in our churches who are blessed with means, to help in this work. Let those also who have surplus property sell some of it, that they may help in establishing this work, or, if unable to sell immediately, they might borrow money for a short time, and put it into this work.
“Let such as can do so—there are such in nearly every church—make up the one dollar for the poorer ones, and thus an average of one dollar for each member can be raised by our churches by May 11. The writer will see that two of our churches are thus provided for. Who will do likewise? Who will put their shoulder to the wheel at this time? Is this not practical? There are those among us, according to the spirit of prophecy, who can provide one thousand dollars, or in other words, for one thousand members; but if they are determined to hold onto their money at this time, let those of smaller means make the sacrifice and receive the blessing; let them push this work, and be a blessing to this glorious cause which is so soon to triumph. May the Lord help his people to be strong at this time.”
