New York City

By CHARLES T. EVERSON

I HAVE been in New York City more than a year. During this time my work has been carried on in one of the best parts of the residence district, known as Washington Heights. The name is derived from the campaigns that George Washington carried on here during the War of the American Revolution.

Our people have been zealous in supporting the efforts put forth, and have aided in every way possible. Brother Klebahn, elder of the First Seventh-day Adventist Church, although busy at his office all day, has not missed a meeting, but night after night has led the singing and helped in other ways to make the services a success. His wife also helped in the music. The conference, with the limited funds at its disposal, has given generous cooperation, and thousands have heard the message during our campaign on Washington Heights.

The meetings have been well attended, and the collections good, sometimes running as high as seventy-five dollars for a single service. Dr. P. H. Wolfram, of Chicago, who was with us part of the time, sang the songs of Zion with such an earnest desire to reach hearts that many were helped and comforted by his messages. Our force of workers has been rather small, but at present it includes four Bible workers. They are laboring earnestly and prayerfully for the advancement of the message among these people.

The Lord has blessed us with the baptism of eighty-four persons, and according to present indications many others will soon be ready to take part in this with those that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus in New York City. CHARLES T. EVERSON.
