West Pennsylvania

By W. H. Green

PITTSBURG.—The second church of Seventh-day Adventists of this city is holding its ground in the midst of the difficult financial conditions through which the city and the country have been passing, as the following report will show: The church is about three years old. Starting with a membership of ten, it has grown to forty-one. Six, however, have been dropped for various causes—leaving thirty-five.

It has a live Sabbath-school, a growing Missionary Volunteer society, and a Dorcas aid society. The total offerings for the year 1908 amount to $1,082.32. The value of literature sold and given away by members of the church is nine hundred fifty dollars. Some of the members have been active in the distribution of literature, and much Bible work has been done both at the church and from house to house.

We hope to purchase, through the conference, a piece of property offered us, to use as a chapel and treatment-rooms. If any wish to help us, they may send their offerings to A. V. Williams, secretary and treasurer, Corydon, Pa., or to W. H. Green, 11 Conklin St., Pittsburg, Pa., for the work among the colored people. W. H. GREEN.
