New York City

By O. O. Bernstein

DURING the past three years we have labored in Philadelphia, in which time, with the blessing of God and the co-operation of our helpers, we have seen many dear souls led to the Lord and into the light of the third angel’s message. We are glad to report fifty faithful Sabbath-keepers as the result of our last summer’s tent effort and the follow-up work.

During the year 1909 about three thousand dollars was paid in tithe and offerings by our First Church in Philadelphia. One thousand dollars was also raised to reduce the mortgage on the church property. At the annual winter meeting of the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference in 1908-09, a resolution was passed that the conference would assist the First Church to the amount of one thousand dollars. When this materializes, the church’s indebtedness will have been reduced to five thousand dollars, and a great burden thus lifted from the congregation.

On April 15 we came to New York City to connect with work of greater aggressiveness. A new quarter-pole tent, with a seating capacity of one thousand, has been ordered for our summer’s work. Besides some soloists, we have secured the Nicola orchestra of South Lancaster, Mass., to render musical help. The Greater New York Conference is also providing plenty of good help in a corps of experienced Bible workers.

The outlook is encouraging. The Lord is going before us, and we have reason to believe that he will give us a harvest of souls. For this we shall pray and labor.

Our address is 2429 Southern Boulevard, New York City.
