KIMBERLEY, SOUTH AFRICA, Oct. 10, 1904.

Review and Herald,—

Here in darkest Africa we have felt the thrill of the onward move of God's remnant people in the home land, and it has stirred our hearts; and, as we see the evident leading of God's providence in opening up the work in Washington, it increases our courage. We, too, want a part in helping on that work, so we enclose five pounds sterling to aid in opening up the work at our nation's capital. We wish to keep step with the message, and pray that God will bless every advance move, and cause the message to go with increased light and power.

J. V. WILLSON, MRS. J. V. WILLSON.

COXENHOLE, RUATAN, Oct. 7, 1904.

DEAR BROTHER WASHBURN: Please receive one hundred sols [forty dollars] for the purpose of prosecuting the work at our headquarters; and may the God of grace bless his people, and build his standard as high as truth, that unbelievers may see and know that he is God, and beside him there is no Saviour. . . . Arise, Israel, and build; for the Captain of the Lord's host is at our head, and we shall not be confounded. . . .

Yours in Jesus, J. R. GREEN.

We quote the following from the Testimonies:—

The Lord calls on us to awake to a realization of the opportunities presented before us to let our light shine in the city of Washington by establishing there memorials that will hasten forward the proclamation of the third angel's message to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people.

One spirit inspired the writing of this Testimony and the letters quoted. The work is one. J. S. WASHBURN.
