New York

By B. E. MILLER.

BROOKLYN.—“Mighty to save.” This expression, found in Isa. 63:1, has of late been to me a word of great encouragement. “The cities of today are fast becoming like Sodom and Gomorrah.” If it were not for Christ, the mighty Saviour, we should find ourselves defeated in our work in these large cities. It is not the minister, it is not the Bible worker, but the God who first designs the salvation, and afterward uses the worker to work it out.

The message is winning victories through the efforts we are putting forth among the Germans in Brooklyn. During the last nine months we have baptized twenty-six persons, who have united with the church. Miss Meyer and Miss Wagner have assisted as Bible workers. Miss Voth was also with us for about six months, and the church has rendered valuable help in the work of soul winning.

The Brooklyn German church gave during the year 1913 about twenty-five cents a week per member for missions, and the indications are that they will do just as well during the year 1914. The church is also very faithful in tithe and offerings.

Such evidences of the progress of the message cheer the heart of the city worker greatly, and should lead us all to look with favor upon the city work, by means of which churches are raised up in the large cities of the East. Some of the most loyal Seventh-day Adventists are developed in these city churches.
