Southern New Jersey

By GEORGE W. SPIES

The Lord is adding his blessing to the work in the southern part of the State of New Jersey. During an excellent union meeting held in the Bridgeton church in January, six members were added to the church in that place, and others were interested, whom we hope soon to see added to the church.

On February 28 the writer baptized seven persons, all men. These with one sister, were added to the church at Cape May Court House. Of the seven brethren baptized, six were the husbands of

sisters in the church, and the heads of families. Four of these have since entered the canvassing work. Three of the seven baptized were brothers. Their mother, who had long prayed and labored for the conversion of her boys, rejoiced to see her three sons buried with their Lord in baptism.

The conference president, Elder A. R. Sandborn, and the writer spent April 9 and 10 with the churches at Pleasantville and Atlantic City. The Lord’s Supper was celebrated with these believers, and all enjoyed the services very much.

Excellent work is being done by the believers in Ramah, Jericho, Shiloh, Fairton, and other parts of this field, where some are being interested in God’s saving message and brought into the truth. In Vineland several have become much interested in the truth, whom we hope soon to see added to the church there.

In other parts of southern New Jersey a number of persons are awaiting baptism and acceptance into the church. The Lord is working upon the hearts of sincere seekers everywhere, and soon these dear ones will be gathered into the garner of God.

In Cape May Court House the church building has been painted and repaired. In Bridgeton the church building has been painted, wired for electric lights, and otherwise repaired. We hope to occupy until He comes, and to be prepared for an abundant entrance into God’s everlasting kingdom.
