Pennsylvania

By J. S. WASHBURN.

PHILADELPHIA.—Our tent meetings closed October 10. In some respects this has been the most interesting tent meeting I ever held. I have seen a larger number take their stand for the truth, but we never had so large a list of interested families to work with at the close of the meeting—over 250.

Our contributions for expenses were $423.60, the largest I have ever known in a series of tent meetings. Our expenses were $408.80, leaving a balance of $14.80 on the right side of the account.

Eighteen signed the covenant to “keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus,” and a number who have not signed the covenant are keeping the Sabbath. Among the former is a public-school teacher; also a physician of high standing, with a large office practice, his wife also taking her stand with him. This physician has already given over $200 to the work, $100 of this amount being given to the mission funds. The Lord seemed to have prepared him to accept every point of truth before he saw the announcement of our meetings in one of the great city papers. It surely pays to use the papers.
