Washington, D. C.

By J. S. Washburn

Up to the present date $47,344.25 has been received on the One Hundred Thousand Dollar Fund. See list on page 22.

If all our brethren and sisters in the United States would follow the example of a brother in California, the whole amount needed here in Washington would be raised in a very short time. This brother writes:—

ANGELS CAMP, CAL., Oct. 9, 1904.

DEAR BROTHER: Find enclosed fifteen dollars, the amount I promised to pay—five dollars a month—for July, August, and September. I hope many of our people will catch the spirit of giving regularly until the one hundred thousand dollars is raised; for God loves a cheerful giver.

Why would it not be a good plan to invite those who feel that they ought to help until the fund is raised, to send in their names, and state what they will give every month? One thousand persons giving five dollars for one year would amount to sixty thousand dollars a year. I know that when I give systematically, I give more than when I give just as I take a notion, and the Lord has helped me to give what I promised. May God bless you in the work at Washington.

Your brother,

Are there not at least twenty-five thousand of our people who will give five dollars a month, or $1.25 a week, until the whole amount is raised? Thus in two weeks the whole amount yet needed would be supplied. This can be done. Will all those who will give any definite amount regularly each week or month write to me at once? And there may be those who have been intending to give from five hundred to one thousand dollars. Will not such send in immediately? J. S. WASHBURN.
