Another Conference in the List

By Editor

THE large fund is far from a dead issue; its growth is constant, though slower than we had hoped. This week it reaches $82,273.41. It is more than half finished. There now remains to be raised $67,726.59. How pleasing to heaven, what satisfaction to ourselves, if we should pay the whole thing off within a few weeks! Very few of the conferences have furnished their portion; but we are glad to add this week to the list of those that have completed their apportionment the name of Ohio. The list now stands as follows: District of Columbia, Arizona, Nebraska, Southern New England, Egypt, Utah, Ohio. The latter conference completed its apportionment at its recent camp-meeting without a prolonged or tedious effort. In one meeting, where but a portion of the conference membership was represented, the whole unpaid portion, amounting to more than two thousand dollars, was made up. Not only that, but, like the tabernacle builders of old, they found that they had given much more than the required amount. They contributed on this fund at that one meeting $2,633.56, and the Ohio Conference voted to add enough to bring the amount up to $3,000. This meeting was a real spiritual uplift, for the Lord added his blessing.
