Seventh-day Adventists Move to Takoma Park
In a recent issue of the New York Christian Advocate, the leading Methodist paper of this country, there appeared the following paragraph in a letter from Washington:— The Seventh-day Adventists have decided to locate their publishing interests at Takoma Park, a suburb of Washington, D. C. They have already secured headquarters in the city, and are making themselves felt in our midst. . . . The disastrous fire in Battle Creek, Mich., which destroyed the publishing house and Sanitarium, was a great financial loss, but served as a call to renewed activity and generous offerings. The committee examined many places in the East, but finally agreed that the strategic point would be the capital of our nation. The selection of Takoma Park will doubtless prove an incentive to the members of this denomination, and the buildings to be erected will serve as a national home for the society. We may not agree doctrinally in every point, but there are many phases of Christian teaching common to all evangelical churches which serve to unite us in one brotherhood. The writer of this paragraph, a local Methodist pastor, visited our offices, and we had a very pleasant interview with him concerning our removal and our work in general.
