Washington, D. C.

By J. S. Washburn

The work on the buildings of the Washington Training-school is going forward in a very encouraging manner. We shall be able to publish photographs of these buildings in a short time.

The tent-meetings conducted by Elder George B. Thompson and Brethren Curtis, Skinner, and Hankins, from Iowa, closed Sunday night, October 9. The attendance and interest were excellent. Quite a number have accepted the truth since these meetings began; and others are deeply interested, and these friends who are interested will have the opportunity of studying the Bible with our workers.

Two baptisms have recently been held in the Memorial church. On a recent Sabbath the M Street church listened with deep interest to a discourse given by Brother Spicer on his work in foreign lands during his recent visit to the European fields. New hope and courage are coming into the hearts of our people in every land. The Lord truly is strengthening the weak hands, and confirming the feeble knees, and saying to them of a fearful heart, “Be strong, fear not; behold your God will come.” Isa. 35: 3, 4.

As will be seen by the published list on page 22, the Washington building fund has now reached the amount of $41,087.53. The continued and systematic effort that is being made by our people to establish these institutions free of debt fills our hearts with courage and hope. As was stated in last week’s Review, it is deeply interesting to note that many who are not Seventh-day Adventists seem rejoiced in the opportunity of helping in this work.
