Washington, D. C.

By K. C. RUSSELL.

DURING the past summer two tent efforts were conducted in the city of Washington,—one in Georgetown, a suburb of Washington, by Brethren O. F. Butcher and A. N. Allen; and the other in Anacostia, another suburb, by Brethren J. A. Strickland and W. S. Connolly. A number accepted the truth as the result of these efforts. Our Bible workers have also been meeting with success. They find little prejudice, and there are those who are anxious to know more about the work of Seventh-day Adventists.

Regular Sunday evening services are being conducted in the Memorial church, corner Twelfth and M Streets, by Elder J. E. Shultz, the pastor, assisted by some of our ministers here. We would suggest that any of our people who have friends or acquaintances in Washington, write to them, urging them to attend these meetings, which are increasing in attendance and deepening in interest.

Our church-school in Takoma Park employs three regular teachers, and has an enrollment this year of about seventy students.

We are planning to carry on a vigorous campaign this winter against the passage of the Johnston Sunday bill. We shall begin this effort after the Thanksgiving Ingathering campaign is over. K. C. RUSSELL.
