New York City

By O. O. Bernstein

Our tent effort closed September 11, with thirty new Sabbath-keepers. We were located in Manhattan. The section in which we operated is one of the finest residential districts in the city, the apartments being all strictly modern.
By thorough organization and up-to-date methods we have been able to enter hundreds of homes, and scatter thousands of our announcements and tracts on all subjects.

Mr. W. T. Hilgert, Mrs. W. T. Hilgert, Mrs. L. T. Nicola, Miss A. Helen Wilcox, Mrs. J. M. Calvert, and Miss Elizabeth C. McPherson assisted as Bible workers during the whole effort. The Nicola orchestra, with Brother Forrest Nicola as director, rendered valuable musical help, as did also Prof. and Mrs. E. H. Dexter from South Lancaster, Mass., and Miss Ethel Cunningham, of Philadelphia. Brother Louis Klebahn of the First Church, New York, led the choir, and Prof. Joseph Groody presided at the piano.

The influence of this effort has extended over a large district, making many friends for the truth. France, Sweden, England, and Germany were represented among the candidates at our first baptism. This scene on the banks of the Hudson will never be effaced from the memory of those who witnessed it. We have been much encouraged by what God has wrought; and with the past summer's experience by which to profit, we hope for still better results from our next effort.
The collections during the summer amounted to over five hundred dollars. In planning to continue the work in a hall, four hundred dollars more was pledged by our friends. Nightly services are now being conducted in a hall at 600 West 181st St. Miss A. Helen Wilcox and Mrs. J. M. Calvert are doing their best to follow up by Bible work the interest which has been created this summer.
We would mention the helpful addresses given by Brethren A. G. Daniels, W. A. Spicer, K. C. Russell, and R. D. Quinn, in rounding off our effort, and also the health talks and cooking school conducted by Drs. D. H. and Lauretta Kress. O. O. BERNSTEIN.
