BALTIMORE.—The tent effort in Baltimore came to an end Sunday night, October 10, with an attendance of four hundred. During this effort fifty-five meetings were held, with an aggregate attendance of 12,310. The average attendance per meeting was 224. The average Sunday night attendance was 425; the average through the week was 179.

The expenses of the effort were quite heavy, but were more than covered by the collections. The total expenses amounted to $190, $64 of which was for the rent of the lot. The total collections amounted to $203.50. The average collection per meeting was $3.70. The average Sunday night collection was $7.80, and the week night, $2.79.

A large number of people are keeping the Sabbath, and attending our Sabbath services. Just how many of these will be baptized and unite with the church I am at present unable to say. We are planning for a baptism in connection with the union conference meeting here.

We feel that there is a great work to be accomplished in this city. Very little has ever been done here, and the way seems now to be opening before us in many directions. There should be a number of Bible workers here, for the homes of many people are open to the truth. We trust that the Spirit of the Lord, which has so richly blessed the work of the summer, will remain with us to guide in all the way before us.
