The Gold Coast Fund

By W. A. Spicer

We are glad we are able to announce that over one thousand dollars has already been received on the Gold Coast fund. We will therefore close this fund, and make no further call on this account at present. The actual location and erection of the station must be postponed somewhat, we fear, as word from Africa reports Brother Hale very seriously affected by the fever prevalent in the country, and the medical authorities are insisting that he must get away if he would live. He may be compelled to flee to England or the Canary Islands to save his life. Brother Hyatt will keep the work going on the Coast; and however way events may turn, our Gold Coast fund will be held intact until it can be used for the specified purpose. This is truly a battle that we are engaged in, and now and then a soldier is disabled, and must retire to the rear. With so many of our workers in unhealthful tropical lands, we have had constant reason to thank God for his protecting care. Brother Hale will feel sadly indeed if forced to turn back, for he had devoted his all to this effort. But God may have some other way for the Gold Coast work, and we must let him show the way to the victory that is assured.

A Note to Those Coming to the Washington Council

By Arthur G. Daniells

The first meeting of the council will be held in the church, at Twelfth and M Streets, Northwest, Wednesday, October 7, at 3 P. M. This hour is fixed with the understanding that all representatives east of the Rocky Mountains can leave their fields after the Sabbath, and reach the city in time to attend the first meeting. As we are planning to make the first meeting a very important one, we most earnestly request all to make an effort to be present.

The three principal railway lines running into Washington are the Baltimore and Ohio, the Pennsylvania, and the Southern. The time from Chicago to Washington over the B. & O. is about twenty-four hours. There are three through trains daily. The time from Chicago over the lines connected with the Pennsylvania Railway, either at Buffalo or Pittsburg, is about twenty-four hours. The regular full fare from Chicago is the same over either of these lines.

We are sorry that we shall not be able to entertain our friends who attend this council as royally as we would like. Our church membership is small, and for various reasons our accommodation for entertaining is very limited. We shall do our very best; but when this is done, many will be obliged to rent furnished rooms, and take their meals at our vegetarian restaurant. We must ask our brethren to help us make the best of the situation. If our efforts to build up the cause in this city are blessed of God, we shall be able to do better in the way of entertainment in the future. A good furnished room for two persons, with privileges of the bath-room, can be secured for from $1.50 to $2.50 a week.

On arriving in the city, please come direct to our office, 222 North Capitol Street, so that we can assist you to get satisfactorily settled. We would be glad to receive a card from you, stating when you expect to arrive, and by what railway line you will travel.

A. G. DANIELLS.

Immorality in Whitechapel and Mayfair

“I AM truly of the opinion that there is less immorality on the Whitechapel side of London than on the Mayfair side,” is the testimony given recently by the Dowager Duchess of Newcastle. The duchess has a residence in the poor district of Whitechapel, and does much charity work there, and ought therefore to be acquainted with the conditions whereof she speaks.

Semiannual Collection for Adventist Homes

By Editor

SABBATH, October 3, is the date set for the semiannual collection for the Haskell Home and the James White Memorial Home. As most of our readers will remember, the Haskell Home has sustained a severe loss by fire since the last collection was taken, and is therefore especially in need of assistance at this time. We trust our people everywhere will remember this, and do something to encourage the hearts of those in charge of this worthy Christian enterprise on this occasion.

Approval of the Removal to Washington

A READER of the REVIEW, who is “one of the old pioneers in this cause,” having been identified with it for forty-six years, in ordering the paper to be sent to another family at his own expense, says: “I feel like writing a few words in regard to what I think about the removal to Washington, D. C. It seems to me that it is the very best thing that could have been done, and that it ought to have been done sooner.” Similar thoughts are expressed in many of our letters.

Save the Boys

By Editor

WE have received from Brother H. F. Phelps, the publisher, a copy of a twenty-four page leaflet with the title, “Save the Boys,” and also the August number of a monthly journal bearing the same title. The purpose of these publications is to exert an influence in behalf of the rising generation to save as many of them as possible from the double curse of liquor and tobacco. Orders or contributions to help this work may be addressed to H. F. Phelps, 118 West Minnehaha Boulevard, Minneapolis, Minn.

A Forward Move

By Editor

It is certain that this whole people have been greatly stirred as they have recognized the marked providence of God in the circumstances connected with the removal of our headquarters to this city. We continue to receive letters in which the writers express themselves as greatly rejoiced and encouraged by these recent developments in our work, and we are confident that the Lord will fully meet the expectations which he himself has aroused in the hearts of the people.

The following paragraph dealing with this matter appeared in the Signs of the Times of September 9. We heartily reciprocate the good wishes of our pioneer paper, and have learned with much satisfaction of the recent large increase in its list of regular readers.

The “good old Review,” comes to us now from Washington, D. C., instead of Battle Creek, Mich. Perhaps some of its many friends, who are wont to indulge a little sentimentality over the olden days, and the good that has been, will heave a temporary sigh because of the change. But it is now time for God’s people to go forward, instead of stopping to look backward. We sincerely believe that there has been the best of evidence that the move is of the Lord. We have now what we ought to have had years ago, a strong publication representing our message at the nation’s capital. And the delay, which is not to our credit, has been overruled for good in getting our leading church paper, and the headquarters of our work in this country where the powers that be can be more fully made to realize that there is a power in the last message of mercy to this perishing world, and that there is a divine force in the warning against the worship of “the beast and his image.” God never yet had a message of special import to a nation that was not forcibly presented at the seat of the government. Even the enemy has been shrewd enough to make use of this fact, and both the Catholics and the National Reformers have been allowed strongly to entrench themselves in the capital city in advance of the message of warning. Now that the most heroic effort is called for in order to establish the truth at this strategic point, to what would we naturally look as the strongest possible agent but to the “good old REVIEW”? May the Lord bless it in its new environment, and renew its youth like the eagle’s. May he abundantly bless the editors and managers, that they may “prosper and be in health,” physically and spiritually, that they may make their charge a power for good, such as the city of Washington never has known.
