Washington, D. C.

By LEWIS C. SHEAFE.

SINCE we last wrote, we have placed a baptistery in our church. Sabbath, the 9th inst., we led forward in baptism sixteen sisters who had consecrated their all to Jesus, having heartily accepted the third angel’s message. This makes twenty-six who have gone forward this season in obedience to the word of God.
The pastor preached, taking as his text 1 Peter 2:9. The Lord by his Holy Spirit was present in power, hearts were touched, stubborn wills subdued, and the sorrowful were made glad.
The interest in the tent-meetings is at its height. We are now holding meetings on the church lot. We have about five hundred chairs in and about the tent, which are all used, and crowds stand. Sunday nights the streets are filled. The people are hungry for the word of the Lord. God’s hand is stretched out still. Continue to pray for us.
We have received for our building fund the following amounts:— Elder J. N. Loughborough.....$ 5 00 Mrs. E. A. B. Smith ..........15 00 Mrs. Clara Cemer, collected at Takoma Park .................21 56
