Washington, D. C.

By J. S. Washburn

THERE is a sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees. From the Pacific Coast a movement has started which seems, like a tidal wave, to be sweeping through the land. A determined and successful effort is being made that each one who comes to the General Conference shall bring an offering for the work in Washington in one hand, and for the needs of the great mission fields in the other hand. Will not all the church-members in the United States take a personal interest in seeing that the representatives of their conferences are furnished with a suitable offering? It will take a determined, united effort to close up this work during the General Conference.

AS will be seen by the list on page 19, the donations are rapidly increasing. Last week our list was headed by a single donation of one thousand dollars, this week by three donations of one hundred dollars each, and an increased number of smaller donations will be found in the list. We have passed the two-thirds' mark in securing the One Hundred Thousand Dollar Fund. If the amount remaining, $32,435.52, is raised by the time of the General Conference, it will mean that there shall be a goodly number of large donations. If twenty donations of one thousand dollars each could be secured, we believe the rest would be supplied by the many who would give smaller offerings. Can not this be done? J. S. WASHBURN.
