Washington, D. C.

By J. S. Washburn

STEADILY the list of donations to the One Hundred Thousand Dollar Fund is mounting upward. This week it has reached the sum of $37,120.09, as will be seen by referring to page 21.
We call special attention to the fact that many who are interested in the work in Washington are giving regularly, and promise to continue to do so until the whole amount is paid in.
The following letters will be read with interest:—
MORGAN HILL, CAL., Aug. 9, 1904.
DEAR BROTHER: I have just received the last REVIEW, and see that nearly one fourth of the One Hundred Thousand Dollar Fund has been raised. Now I should be very much grieved if the whole amount were raised, and I had not sent in my mite to be used in helping to lay the foundation for what I know will be a grand and glorious work. . . . May the Holy Spirit lead, guide, and direct the work in Washington, D. C., is my prayer.
We feel assured that many would be sorely grieved if this and every other opportunity for helping the work of God were closed forever. We are confident that there are many who have not yet been able to send help for this present work. We believe they will now come forward as re-enforcements to those who have already made contributions, and we are thankful to know that many are planning to help regularly until the work is finished.
PINEVILLE, KY., Aug. 22, 1904.
DEAR BROTHER: I had hoped to see the full amount raised by this time, but the Lord knows when and by whom to send it in. I trust the work will continue to prosper. I sometimes think I would like to make a small donation each week until the work is completed. You will please find $12.29 enclosed for this week.
Your brother in the work.
We call attention to the statement made in the REVIEW of September 22 by Sister White, under the heading, “An Onward Work:” “The message received is that many years ago this work should have been done. The call for help that is being made now should have been made long ago. . . . God will surely bless those who will aid in carrying out the command, ‘Arise, and build for me a memorial in Washington!’”
May the Lord fulfil his promise to restore the years that the canker-worm hath eaten. The King’s business requires haste. After the many years’ delay, we pray that this work may be quickly finished and cut short in righteousness. J. S. WASHBURN.
