Maryland

By Carlyle B. Hayne

BALTIMORE.—Just after the Columbia Union conference held last December, thirty new converts were admitted to membership in the united church here, twenty-four of whom came in by baptism. In February the writer began a series of meetings in a large hall, continuing until the middle of April. As a result, ten accepted the message, among them a preacher from the United Brethren Church. Six of these have united with the church, subject to baptism. This brings our present membership up to one hundred twenty.

The union of the two churches in this place has been a great blessing to the work. Since the organization of the new church, everything has moved along very smoothly. About five hundred dollars a quarter is being paid in to the conference in tithes, and generous offerings are made.

Through the appropriation of $1,500

for city work in Baltimore, we have been able to procure a new quarter-pole tent, twice as large as any used in the city heretofore. Arrangements are now under way to secure a good corps of workers to connect with the tent effort this summer, and we feel that God will go before us, and give us a harvest of souls. We are praying that he will enable us to secure a good location upon which to pitch the tent, as the city regulations are so stringent that it takes very earnest effort to get a suitable lot.
