Washington, D. C.

By J. S. Washburn

On Sunday, August 7, a meeting of some most unusual interest was held on the sanitarium grounds. This is quite fully reported on page 18.

This list of donations on page 20 this week is a very encouraging one. The total amount is $27,984.40. The publication of the letters spoken of last week is unavoidably crowded out. They will appear in next week's issue. We quote the following letter:—

HILDEBRAN, N. C., July 25, 1904.

Prof. W. T. Bland,

Washington, D. C.

DEAR BROTHER: The article from Sister White in the REVIEW AND HERALD of two weeks ago was read at our meeting yesterday, and the time was wholly given up to that work. The enclosed amount ($11.52) was offered at once, and it was voted by the entire church to keep this matter before us at least once a month until we are told to stop.

Of course we feel very poor under our circumstances, but in His light shall we see light. And when he says our first concern now should be for Washington, that is where we want it to be. We felt much of the Spirit of God in our meeting yesterday.

Yours in faith and hope,

ALBERT CAREY.

P. S.—Send us another subscription paper for next month. A. C.

When the great need of the Southern work is considered, and the fact that the sanitarium in Hildebran, N. C., was recently burned, it is surely the Spirit of him who gave all that he was and all that he possessed for others that leads our dear brethren in Hildebran to make this systematic and determined effort to send help to the work in Washington. If this spirit should take possession of all our dear brethren and sisters, we should have abundant means, and the remainder needed to complete the work in Washington would be supplied within a week.
