New Jersey

By W. H. Smith

NEWARK.—Sabbath, April 9, was a day of rejoicing among all our people in this part of the field. I had the pleasure of burying eighteen souls in the watery grave. Quite a few others are keeping the Sabbath, two of whom were prevented from being baptized because of sickness. The others were not quite ready, but these will doubtless be baptized the next opportunity. Four of the above were not of the Newark company. This makes, in all, forty-four baptized in Newark within the last ten months.

Sabbath, April 16, was another memorable day for the company here. Fifteen were received into the church, by the right hand of fellowship, after which all took an active part in celebrating the ordinances of the Lord’s house. We all felt that we had great things for which to thank the Lord. The one all-pervading sentiment of the entire company was a desire for a deeper consecration to God for service.

We are looking forward to our summer’s work with great expectation. We earnestly ask all who read these lines to remember us at the throne of grace, that God may continue to bless, until the last honest soul has been sought out of the city of Newark. W. H. SMITH.
