Are We Doing What We Should?
By R. A. Underwood
The call of our brethren in Washington for assistance to provide a suitable place of worship to which to invite the representative men of the nation to hear this message, has led me to think that we have not done in the past what we should for this class. Every State and Territory in the United States, and that includes every organized conference in this country, should, from the very nature of things, consider Washington as a part of its field, from the very fact that from each State and Territory in the Union citizens are making that field their temporary home. Therefore it is reasonable that all the conferences in the United States should contribute something toward providing a suitable place of worship where this truth is being intelligently presented at the capital of the nation,—a place to which each conference may direct its State representatives who go from its territory. Every Seventh-day Adventist should feel it a pleasure to take some part in this effort now being made to establish a memorial of this truth in Washington. This means will be blessed of God to convert to this message some of the first men of the nation. Our prayers should accompany our offerings, whether they are large or small, that God may lead Senators, Congressmen, and judges, as well as all who are in that city, to a knowledge of the saving truth we love. May God bless those who are placed there to hold up the torch of light and truth, that they may lead many to espouse the principles of liberty and right, in the crisis that soon will be reached in our nation.
