Maryland

By Carlyle B. Haynes

BALTIMORE.—On Sunday afternoon, December 24, we closed the largest series of meetings ever held by Seventh-day Adventists in this city. The meetings were held on Sunday afternoons in the New Theater on Lexington Street. They began on Sunday, October 22, and continued until December 24. The entire cost of these meetings amounted to $535.66; the total donations from all sources amounted to $517.36, of which the Chesapeake Conference gave $50. The rent of the theater for each meeting was $30; the advertising and the distribution of advertising brought the cost of each meeting up to about $53.

These meetings have attracted much favorable comment throughout the city. Each lecture has been reported in the daily papers, and the people of Baltimore have thus been made acquainted, for the second time in six months, with the teachings of Seventh-day Adventists.

We are glad to report that there is a very large interest in the city. We have between two hundred and two hundred fifty names of those interested, and are utterly unable adequately to bind off the work. We are earnestly praying that God will send us help in order to accomplish what ought to be done in this city. We praise the Lord for the large measure of his Spirit which he has granted to the work here.
