Work Among the Colored People of Pittsburgh, Pa.
By A. N. Durrant
SINCE the dedication of our new church building on January 16, the Lord has continued to bless our work. Our Sunday night meetings are well attended, and many are interested. Sunday night, March 12, I baptized six persons, one of whom is a carpenter who worked on the church building last fall. Since we entered the building the last of December, we have added nine new members by baptism. Others are keeping the Sabbath, whom we hope to see take this step soon. As the union conference is now holding its biennial session here, March 13-19, I have planned for revival meetings in our church, when the visiting colored ministers can help each evening, while all attend the union meetings during the day. We ask the prayers of all God's people, that our efforts to increase the membership may speedily be realized. The offerings for missions continue to grow. Sometimes the Sabbath school donations are almost six dollars. On the first Sunday night of each month we are also receiving payments on the pledges made at the dedication. This money is applied on our church debt.
