Delaware

By Carlyle B. Haynes

WILMINGTON.—A tent effort was opened here July 19, with an attendance of four hundred twenty-five. The meetings continued for eight weeks, closing Sunday night, September 13, with an attendance of three hundred fifty. During these eight weeks we held fifty-two meetings in the tent, having an average attendance of one hundred sixty-one adults for the whole effort.

On Sunday, September 27, twelve persons were baptized; several others will be ready in a few days.

At the last meeting the audience gave forty dollars to hold Sunday afternoon

meetings in the Garrick Theater. We have held two meetings in the interests of religious liberty. The expense of these meetings has been $70.50, fifty dollars for rent, and $20.50 for advertising. This expense has been fully met by those attending, so these meetings have cost the conference nothing. A number of copies of Liberty were sold at each meeting, and at the close of the last one the people crowded forward to sign the petitions against the Johnston Sunday bill.

For the victories won for the truth, and for the blessings of God upon the work here, we return grateful praise to Him who has led in it all.
