The General Work in Brooklyn, N. Y.
By B. E. MILLER
WE are having some encouraging experiences in the German work in this large city. Since the very beginning of our tent effort last summer, we can see the hand of the Lord manifested in a very marked manner in the work, and some very definite victories have been won over the powers of darkness. The two Bible workers, Misses Kehrein and Meyer, together with some members of the Brooklyn German church, have rendered valuable help, and we feel like praising the name of God that our united efforts have not been without visible results. Last Sabbath we had another baptismal service in the Brooklyn German church. I had the privilege of baptizing fourteen persons, who all united with this church. Since last summer the Brooklyn German church has gained in strength and blessing through the baptism and addition of twenty-eight new members. We feel grateful to God that several whole families have taken their stand for the truth, and are now united with the people of God. We hope to have another baptism before we begin our summer’s work. While Brooklyn is in America, we feel like calling it a German city; for out of about 1,750,000 inhabitants 1,000,000 are Germans. It is commonly rated as the second largest German city in the world, Berlin being the largest German city. From the present indication, we believe that in the near future the German work in the Greater New York Conference will develop into a strong work. B. E. MILLER.
