The Nashville Church Building Fund

By I. H. EVANS

THE General Conference Committee has arranged that a fund shall be opened in the columns of the REVIEW, for the benefit of the Nashville church enterprise. The readers of the REVIEW will understand that there is some five thousand dollars to be raised before the first of October, 1905, to cover the purchase of this property.

We believe there are many of our brethren and sisters scattered throughout the field who will be glad to take hold of this matter, and help pay for the church building in Nashville. It will not be a hard thing for us to do, if we will each bear a part.

Any funds forwarded to the General Conference treasurer will be receipted through the REVIEW.

Insurance Company Investigations

The investigation into the affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, of New York City, which has disclosed successive depths of unsoundness until it has become suggestive of a bottomless pit of corruption, has finally resulted in a suit by forty or more policy holders representing several States, to place the society in the hands of a receiver for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the suit being based on a charge that the organization is insolvent. Coincident with this information comes the announcement that another big insurance company, the Mutual Reserve, of New York City, has a dark shadow over its reputation by reason of an investigation by the State superintendent of insurance. An Albany dispatch says: “Concealment of judgments against the company amounting to $182,767, exaggeration of its surplus by over $300,000, and a fixed policy of delay in settling claims are some of the charges made against the Mutual Reserve Life Insurance Company by Chief Examiner Isaac Vanderpool in his report submitted to State Superintendent of Insurance Hendricks, and by him to-day made public. The examination was begun last December, and covers a period back to 1890. The company has headquarters in New York City, and claims assets of between $5,000,000 and $6,000,000.”

Washington Training College

Extract From the Annual Announcement

A LARGE measure of the strength of the institution will be devoted to the work of building up a strong Biblical department, in which it is hoped many of our younger ministers, now in the field, may find features of advantage sufficient to warrant their connecting with the school for a period of study, to prepare themselves better for the service in which they are engaged. Those who were acquainted with our denominational work of an earlier day will remember the time when the younger ministers were brought together to receive a special course of instruction and training; and the leaders of our denominational work of to-day are largely men who were privileged to have this special training.

Opportunities for actual evangelical work will be offered, and will constitute one of the most important features of the training received by the students at this institution. At the same time, very careful, thorough, and systematic technical work will be undertaken in the class room, thus holding a high standard for this feature of the preparation for life's duties, but not neglecting the advantage which arises from actual experience in the presentation of the truths of the gospel, whether from the desk, in the home circle, or in placing literature in the hands of individuals who may be interested in the same. This department of the Washington Training College will receive more careful and earnest consideration than any other department, as the school exists for the one purpose of preparing men and women for gospel work. The circumstances surrounding the school are most favorable for carrying forward such a line of practical work, and the very best instructors are promised, and have signified their willingness to co-operate with the college in making this feature of its work a success.

Special instruction will be given in the public presentation of the Scriptural truths; and to make this feature very practical, drill classes will be formed in the school, where preliminary efforts may be put forth, and later in the year opportunity will be presented for occupying the desk in our various churches about the College by such as may so desire, and whose qualifications seem to warrant efforts in this direction. There is unlimited opportunity for carrying forward this line of study, and it is hoped that through this means many of our young men may develop an ability for public labor in the cause of Christ.

H. G. Lucas to California

BROTHER H. G. LUCAS, of California, spent a few days in Washington last week. On his return to the Pacific Coast he will enter upon his work at Fernando, in southern California.

G. B. Thompson in Michigan

ELDER G. B. THOMPSON has been in Michigan during the last two weeks, holding meetings in Battle Creek and Grand Rapids. He will now attend some of the camp-meetings in the Central West and the Southwest.

R. D. Quinn Returns to Australia

ELDER R. D. QUINN has recently returned to his field of labor in Australia, after attending the Montana and Western Oregon camp-meetings. Brother Quinn writes that both of these gatherings “were splendid meetings.”

W. S. Hyatt to Africa

ELDER W. S. HYATT spent a few days in Washington this week, having arranged to sail from New York August 3, for England and South Africa. Last Sabbath he spoke to two of the Washington churches on the African work.

Abuse of the Franking Privilege

REFERRING to Rev. W. F. Crafts’ sending out his book, “Patriotic Studies,” through the mails free of expense, under the franking system, the New York Herald in an editorial of July 18, says: “He has stolen the livery of the devil to serve heaven in.” “There have been many abuses of the franking privilege, but none so glaring as this.”

Convention for Gospel Workers

A CONVENTION for the benefit of the gospel workers in the District of Columbia has been announced for Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Two sessions of the convention were arranged to be held with the M Street church, and two with the People's church. Nine topics were assigned to various workers, covering some of the practical experiences of gospel work. A report of this convention may appear later.

Washington, D. C.

The tent-meetings continue with an excellent interest. The prospect is that a goodly number will come fully into the truth of the message.

The meetings held by Elder Sheafe are very largely attended, and the interest is excellent. His tent was recently destroyed by a storm, but in the interval until another tent was secured, his meetings were held in the open air. A temporary tent is now in use.

The Washington fund is increasing rather slowly. The following letter will prove of interest:—

“DEAR BROTHER: Please find ten dollars enclosed to be used to help build a good, lasting foundation and home for the good old ADVENT REVIEW AND SABBATH HERALD. I am the same old self-supporting missionary who sent you ten dollars some time ago on the One Hundred Thousand Dollar Fund, and now I am glad that it is all made up, and quite a good start made on the other fifteen thousand dollars. May this ten dollars be sort of a fourth-of-July offering. May the good Lord bless all the money and builders and givers and his work and people.”

J. S. WASHBURN.
