Washington, D. C.

By W. H. GREEN

WHILE moving from Atlanta, Ga., to Philadelphia, Pa., about the last of October, we were requested by the District of Columbia Conference to make Washington our field of labor. While our field covers the whole conference, our work has been especially with the Fifth church. As a result of the efforts put forth, some who have long been connected with the message have come to a clearer understanding of the truth, and pledged themselves anew to the cause and the finishing of the work.
About the first of last November the membership of this church was thirty-four; the tithe for the year ending Dec. 31, 1909, was $390.98; and the several offerings amounted to $119. The present membership is fifty-one, or an increase of seventeen; and the tithe for the six months ending June 30 was $317.99—almost as much as for the whole year of 1909. There is a favorable increase in offerings, and a spirit of progress in the church. Reports from the other churches in the conference are also encouraging.
We have begun tent-meetings, which have been running since June 10. Bad weather prevented a good beginning; nevertheless the meetings are fairly well attended during the week, and there is an excellent attendance on Sunday nights. The tent is pitched in a locality where no meetings have been previously held by our people, and the indications for a fair harvest are reasonably good.
