Nebraska

By O. O. BERNSTEIN

OMAHA.— It is proved, over and over again, that properly conducted city evangelistic work brings gratifying results to any conference, both in converts and in increased tithe.
During two years and four months of labor in Minneapolis, Minn., we added to the church by baptism one hundred and thirty-four members. The tent and hall efforts cost $1,702, while the tithe alone from the new converts during this same time amounted to more than $3,500.
Ten months of aggressive work in Lincoln, Nebr., resulted in the baptism of sixty-eight persons, with the tithe of the Lincoln church doubled.
We are now in Omaha, conducting evangelistic work in a big tent 70 x 110 ft., which is erected on the “Billy Sunday” ground, at the corner of Fourteenth and Capitol Avenues. This is the sixth week of our effort. In spite of the intense heat, we have had good audiences with a growing interest. Last Sunday night our tent was well filled by an audience of intellectual people. Quite a number have begun keeping the Sabbath.
A check for $500 back tithe has been turned into the conference to be credited to the Omaha effort, and a number of smaller checks ranging from $25 to $100 have been received.
Besides the chorister and tent master, three Bible workers are associated in this effort. We are unable to keep pace with the growing interest. We expect a harvest of souls. Remember us in prayer.
