Delaware and Maryland

By Gustavus P. Rodgers

WILMINGTON.— Our tent effort closed here Sunday night, September 22. It had been cold in the evenings for two weeks, but the interest was of the very best. Elder F. H. Seeney and wife; Mrs. E. V. Manners, a Bible worker of Norfolk; and the writer and his wife, comprising the tent company, prayed from the very beginning for a rich harvest of souls. The Lord answered our prayers. Sabbath, September 21, we held an impressive baptismal service. Ten were baptized, two being rebaptized, and three united with the church on their former baptism.
When we first pitched our tents in Wilmington one year ago, there had never been a worker among the colored people. As the result of our labors, a church has been organized, and now there are twenty-three persons rejoicing in the truth.
BALTIMORE.— Every Sunday night this past summer, which is always the most important night, Elder Seeney was alone, as the writer carried on the hall effort in Baltimore begun last March. As the result of this hall effort, nine united with the Baltimore church in June, and four or five others will soon take their stand for the truth.
Both at Wilmington and at Baltimore there is much to be done. We ask the REVIEW readers to pray the Lord of the harvest to send us more reapers, as the people are eager to know this truth. Among two hundred sixty-five thousand colored people in this conference, there are but two workers and one church building. We believe that the day of the Lord hasteth greatly.
