The White House and White House lawn and trees were decorated with not fewer than six thousand colored electric lights; the evening following the celebration the grounds were thrown open to the general public, and about twenty thousand persons took advantage of the invitation to view the decorations and illuminations, which remained the same as on the previous evening.

Washington Sanitarium Association
By R. T. Dowsett
CONDITIONS have so changed with some of our brethren and sisters who have kindly loaned money to the Washington Sanitarium Association to assist financially in carrying forward the work of God, that they find it necessary to have a portion of their money returned to them. A number of these notes coming due about the same time makes it necessary that the association borrow a portion of the money needed from others. The Sanitarium can take care of some of these demands from its income, but not all. The association will greatly appreciate assistance from those having surplus money which could be loaned to us for a year or more. Address the undersigned at Takoma Park, D. C.
R. T. DOWSETT, General Manager.

Each church in the conference is entitled to one delegate without regard to membership, and one additional delegate for each fifteen members. Delegates should be selected, and the conference secretary, Mrs. C. A. Saxby, Woodlawn, La., notified in good time. Tents will be provided for all, at the usual rates, and a dining-room will be operated by the conference. Bedding should be brought, as it will be difficult to secure it on the ground.
