An Unusual Experience

By J. S. Washburn

It is not often that we are compelled to ask consideration at the hands of our people because we are not able to acknowledge promptly their contributions, but there has been such a remarkable response to the recent appeals in behalf of the One Hundred Thousand Dollar Fund that the donations have come in faster than we have been able, with our usual office force and the interruption of the General Conference, to send out the usual receipts and acknowledgments. To those who are still waiting for their receipts we will say that they need have no alarm about the loss of the money, and that they will hear from us just as soon as possible.

We are very thankful for the wonderful movement which has resulted so happily in the interest of this fund, and it is a great satisfaction to be able to report that the amount actually entered at the time of writing this article has reached $94,403.98, with many letters still awaiting attention. The remarkable interest which has been shown in the establishment of the work in this city, and the liberal spirit which has been manifested, encourage us to believe that our people will heartily co-operate with the recommendation of the General Conference concerning the raising of further funds, which is fully presented by Elder A. G. Daniells in the Editorial Department. We ask all to read his article.
