A Memorial for South Carolina

By J. S. WASHBURN

An article by R. T. Nash appeared in the REVIEW of May 2 under the heading, “An Opportune Time for Spartanburg, S. C.” The brethren and sisters throughout the country have given several thousand dollars to establish a memorial church in Washington, D. C., the headquarters of our work in the world. Five thousand dollars of the overflow of the $100,000 fund was appropriated to buy the memorial church for Nashville, the headquarters of our work in the South. And now an appeal comes to us to help in the establishment of a church in Spartanburg, S. C., thus far the leading church of that most neglected State of all the long-neglected South.

The request is a very humble one. A thousand dollars is certainly not a large amount to be given for that purpose. But the little church in Spartanburg is heroically doing all in its power to raise the needed funds, thus making the appeal to our people in general for only a small amount.

We believe those who have helped to establish memorial churches at the headquarters of our work for the world, and at the headquarters of our work in the Southern Union Conference, will now gladly give something toward the establishment of our work on a solid basis in this important center for the work in South Carolina.

Here a short time ago our brethren stood trial for Sunday labor. Here a great interest has been manifested to know the truth. Let the people of Spartanburg realize that Seventh-day Adventists are a people who are in earnest, and who are willing and able to do a substantial and an enduring work.

Send all donations to Elizabeth McHugh, Spartanburg, S. C., or to Mrs. R. T. Nash, Campobello, S. C. J. S. WASHBURN.
