Alberta

By J. W. Boynton; Paul Curtis

EDMONTON.— Soon after our good camp-meeting at Wetaskiwin, we pitched our tents in Edmonton, and Tuesday evening, July 25, we began meetings with a small attendance. We had a pleasant location in one of the best parts of the city, with new tents, comfortably seated with folding seats. We advertised the meetings by means of bills and invitation cards, and announcements through the two daily papers; and day after day our company would go out with Signs, tracts, and invitation cards, and leave them in the homes of the people. Our congregation was small, but they soon became interested and came regularly. About twelve promised to keep all the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

During the meeting we sold upward of twenty dollars’ worth of literature, and received in donations $9.55, besides some special offerings for foreign work. We also had the blessed privilege of baptizing five adults, and several others promised to go forward in that ordinance soon. We closed our meeting September 10, as the nights were getting so cool that we could not make the people comfortable. Brother and Sister Curtis remain to follow up the work with the interested ones for a time. We praise God for the work that was accomplished, and long to see more and more of his power manifest in saving souls. J. W. BOYNTON, PAUL CURTIS.
