LEAD, KINDLY LIGHT!
Lead, kindly light! amid the encircling gloom
Lead thou me on;
‘The night is dark, and T am far from home,
Lead thou me on.
Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see
‘The distant scene, one step’s enongh for me.
* * * * * *
So long thy power has blest me, sure it still
will tead me on.
O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
‘The night is gone,
And with the morn those angel faces smile,
Which I have loved long since and lost awhile.
—Cardinal Newman.
GENERAL ARTICLES.
WASHINGTON, D. C.
The General Conference offices and
the Review office for the present are
located at 222 North Capitol street,
Washington, D. C. This is the his
toric house formerly used by George
Washington as his capital home. Ii
is only about half a block from the
Capitol Building of the United States.
From the highest story of the office,
looking south, as I write, that majes-
tic structure is the object of promi-
nence, The sun low in the west lights
up the great pile of marble, and glis-
tens from the lofty dome of glass and
iron, painted white; and on the sum-
Bnit. dark and stern, with drawn
the
sword, stands the statue of Liberty,
facing the east.
But a few steps across the grounds
of the Capitol and National Library
is the building used by Mr. W. PB.
Crafts and his associates as the head-
quarters of the so-called International
Reform Bureau, the association well
known to every Seventh-day Adventist
as the society for yniting church and
state, and ultimately binding the con-
science of all the inhabitants of this
country in a religious despotism.
Who brought the headquarters of
representatives. of the _ third
angel’s message, and of the power
that is seeking to destroy liberty, so
near together, and so near to the ac-
tual seat of government of the United
States? This is not chance. This
move of the Review and of our head-
quarters to the capital city is of God.
From all parts of the country, and
from foreign lands we hear one voice,
saying that the move to Washington
is the most significant, the most sol-
emn, and yet the most gloriously
hopeful of any move in the history of
the work, It means that the end is in
sight. ¥rom this city set on a hill,
from this pinnacle, the light will flash
to the ends of the earth.
Doubtless all the readers of Echoes
are familiar with the fact that the -
Spirit of Prophecy has repeatedly
stated that a sanitarium and training
school for Christian workers should
be built in Washington at once. In
order to carry out this divine com-
mand the General Conference Council
in Washington, October, 1903, unani-
mously voted that we call for $100,
000.00 with which to provide ((eneral
Conference offices, the sanitarium, and
the school.
We believe our loyal brethren will
rally as never before to raise this
money quickly so that the item of in-
terest will not enter into the expense
account. Shall we not see a new
thing? Cannot the money be raised be-
fore the buildings are erected? Some
of our brethren will be glad to give
from five thousand to twenty thousand.
A good number will give one thousand,
and a large number from one hun-
dred to five hundred dollars each;
and we believe that every man,
woman and child. in all our ranks will
degire to invest something in these
most important institutions.
Twenty-five thousand dollars should
be raised by May first, with which to
begin the work. We believe that the
good people of your conference who
responded so generously to our ap-
peal for help to pay for the Memorial
church will do ten times as much for
these more important institutions.
A list of “donations will be opened
in the Review. Send all donations to
the treasurer of your conference,
‘Who among the readers of this pa-
per will start the list with a donation
of $1,000? J. S. Washburn.
CENTRAL UNION CONFERENCE
MEETING.
We know all will be interested to
hear from this meeting, and we have
been hoping Elder Watson would get
home in season to write a report for
this issue; but he has been detained
at College View, Neb. on business
in connection with the Central Union
Conference Commitiee and Union Col
lege Board, so we will wait till next
issue for a full report. The business
sessions passed off very harmoniously,
