CLEVELAND.—Our meetings during the week of prayer were deeply spiritual, and we had a good attendance. While our donation for 1905 was fifty dollars, for 1906 it was one hundred and twenty dollars, and in addition to that, when I read Brother Anderson's letter from Africa, a good sister said she would give a half year's support for another native worker, and in a few moments one hundred and twenty-five dollars was raised for the African work. Our Friday evening prayer-meetings have so grown in interest during the year that we can hardly close the service, and that, too, sometimes after a two hours' meeting.

I praise the Lord for the hearty co-operation of the members in every good work. We have a noble company of young people here who maintain regular young people's meetings and are doing a good work. We have a large live Sabbath-school. More than a score of good souls have been added to the church during the year, and we have been enabled to pay about eighteen hundred dollars on our church debt. We have had the efficient help of Sister Anna Rice as a Bible worker, and now Brother Moffatt has joined us in the strength and vigor of young manhood. We are encouraged to labor on by the repeated Testimonies which vividly picture the great need of our large cities. The church is not only growing in numbers, but in unity; and we have reconsecrated ourselves to the work, and are pressing on to higher ground.
