A Farewell Appeal

By A. G. Daniells; WM. COVERT; E. T. RUSSELL; R. A. UNDERWOOD; W. B. WHITE; R. C. PORTER; W. J. FITZGERALD; FREDERICK GRIGGS

Just as we are leaving for Europe to attend important councils in Great Britain, Scandinavia, Germany, and Switzerland, we have received the stirring appeals sent out by our leading brethren in the Pacific Union Conference, in behalf of the $150,000 fund. These appeals, we understand, have been sent to all our conference officers and ministers for the purpose of stirring them to greater zeal and activity in the work of raising this fund.
We are now on board the steamship “Celtic,” ready to sail, and we unite in leaving as a last word, for the present, to our fellow workers this statement.
We are deeply grateful that our brethren in the Pacific Union Conference have sent out these timely and stirring appeals. They have made our hearts burn with a new desire to hasten the raising of this fund. We would gladly stay and join in this good work, but the interests of this cause in foreign lands call us away at this time.
As we leave, we wish to tell our fellow workers in the conferences with which we are especially connected, and our brethren generally, that we most earnestly desire that they shall be moved to great earnestness by these appeals.
We believe that this fund can be raised by our people in a short time if a united, vigorous effort is made. We heartily join our brethren in the earnest request that a very special effort be set on foot the first Sabbath in May, and that it be continued until the last dollar of the fund is provided.
This, dear brethren, is our last word to you as we leave you with this work for a time. We shall tell our people in Europe of your efforts and your gifts in their behalf.
And while we are gathered in our large council at our Swiss sanitarium on the shores of Lake Geneva, May 10-25, we hope to hear of great progress in the raising of this much-needed fund. Remember us at the throne of grace at this time.
