New Bern.—After a successful tour of Alabama and South Carolina, Elder Sidney Scott began meetings in New Bern on Sunday night, June 4. We had been delayed in getting the meetings started, but this only served to increase the curiosity of the people and their desire to attend the meetings. Over six hundred persons were present, but the seating capacity of our tent being limited to a little over three hundred, the unseated ones were obliged to stand throughout the service. Elder Scott quickly reached the hearts of the people, and their responses were hearty and frequent. The singing attracted their attention, and the good order bore witness to the power of the message. Thousands of colored people dwell in this thickly settled seaport city, and the uncertainty and remoteness of another effort make it urgent upon us to reach as many as possible while the occasion serves. To this end we are praying that a larger tent be sent us to accommodate those who throng our tent for admission. While our hearts are grateful for the manifest blessings of God, we are praying for the fulness of power needed to bind off the work to the glory of God. Page Shepard.
