Donations for the Memorial Church, Washington, D. C.
By J. S. Washburn
SINCE my last statement, the sum of $41.85 has been sent to me to prepare the church for dedication. This work is proceeding rapidly, and the date will be announced later. We trust that all pledges still unpaid will be sent in at once, and that all money in the hands of secretaries and treasurers will be forwarded without delay. After the church20is put in condition to meet the mind of the General Conference officers located here, it is hoped that a good sum may then remain to be applied toward building the sanitarium and school to be established here. The Testimony has stated that this should be done at once, which certainly means as early as possible in the coming spring. Comparatively nothing is at hand with which to begin this work, and we are sure every loyal Seventh-day Adventist desires to see this accomplished without debt. It is at once apparent that the larger the sum in this fund, the better for the denominational institutions to be established here. Below is given a list of donations sent directly to me since December 9, not previously reported in the REVIEW: Previously reported, $7,214.88; J. P. Ferguson, $3; Mrs. A. D. Parker, $1; N. J.
