Washington’s Quota Raised

By K. C. RUSSELL

The District of Columbia’s share of the $150,000 fund is eleven hundred and eighty-one dollars. We are glad to announce that the amount has been raised by cash and pledges. There are four churches in the District of Columbia, which stand nearly equal in membership; but, owing to the financial obligations of two of these, the Memorial and Takoma Park churches voluntarily assumed the responsibility of raising the whole amount apportioned to the churches of the District, thus making the average amount nearly four dollars a member for the membership of the above-named churches.

Sabbath, December 1, at our regular church services we made our appeal for this fund, and with the exception of a few members who were not present, our share was raised at those services. The work of raising our amount was entered into heartily and with real delight, and the effort was accomplished without exceeding the time of our regular church services.

We feel very grateful to the Lord for the spirit of liberality and cheerfulness manifested by our people in responding to this call, and can not forego the expression of our hope that other churches have done equally well.

K. C. RUSSELL, Chairman District of Columbia Evangelistic Committee.
