Detroit (Mich.) Church No. 2

By W. H. Green

IT is pleasing to give our brethren and sisters in Christ a hint of God's blessings upon the work here, so that we may rejoice together in the speedy triumph of the message.

The year just ended has been one of activity, peace, and growth in the little church. Nearly all seemed to have worked and given in establishing the truth here, and in helping to carry it on in other fields. This has been manifested in personal labor, in selling and giving away literature, and in bringing in the tithe and offerings.

While we have had no regular Bible workers, yet several have rendered good service in that respect, bringing some into the truth, and opening the way for the writer to instruct others.

The Sabbath school and the Young People's Society of Missionary Volunteers have made steady growth, and have done much to bring life and activity into the church. The Christian Help band has not failed to do good and lasting work for the cause.

The treasurer's books show that the per capita tithe for twenty members amounted to $23.30; and the average per member for all funds amounted to $41.39. We think this is a splendid showing considering the financial condition of the general membership. It shows how freely our people give of their means and labors to the Lord's cause when properly instructed.

Dec. 27, 1913, I baptized six persons, making ten that have been added by baptism since last May. This brings the number on the revised church roll up to twenty-four members.

The writer and some of the members have visited and held meetings in many homes, giving away and selling literature at the same time.

We are struggling to get money together for a building, and have raised outside of the church fund, in cash, $114.
