Georgetown, D. C.

By Geo. A. Stevens

FOR the benefit of those who are interested in the Washington work, and are anxious to know of the progress of the truth in this place, we give a brief sketch of its advance in one section; namely, Georgetown.

The Georgetown tent was pitched at Thirty-third and Q Streets, about the middle of June, the speaker being Prof. B. G. Wilkinson. Despite the superabundance of rain during almost the entire effort, and the opposition of the enemy in many ways, and later in the effort the sad death of our speaker's little son, a good attendance continued till the tent was taken down, many of the same persons coming night after night.

The message was faithfully presented, and at the close of the effort five precious souls stepped out into the light of present truth.

As Professor Wilkinson was recalled to his school work, the District Committee decided that the writer should resume the work, with the view of organizing a church here later. We are glad to report at this writing that our little company is developing spiritually, paying tithes, etc., and showing a desire to work for others, and has also been enlarged by four other persons who were interested in the tent effort. We can also report three others who are convinced. They desire to obey, and we believe they will soon step out.

We are now holding our services in our Thirty-first Street chapel, between P and Q Streets, a neat little building,

in a very desirable location. We have thoroughly renovated this building within and without, and have fitted it up as a Seventh-day Adventist chapel, bright, neat, and attractive. We desire your prayers that the work thus begun in Georgetown may prosper.
