WASHINGTON.—The general meeting at Washington, like the others which have been reported by associate laborers, was better than we had dared to expect. The Spirit of God was present, and His power was realized in speaking and in receiving the word of life. Several members were added to this church during the past year; and on the whole, the outlook is better than it was a year ago. Cash and pledges to the amount of $50.69 were given for the work in the State, and about twenty copies of “Christ’s Object Lessons” were ordered.

Thus closes the best, most spiritual series of meetings that I have ever attended in all the years of my labors, and I feel certain that this is but a preparation for a still richer pentecostal experience by our dear people during the soon-coming Week of Prayer. We must take hold of God’s word by living faith.

In the meetings attended by Elders Longacre and Wheeler and myself, a little over one thousand dollars was raised in cash and pledges for the “Gideon’s Band” and tent and camp-meeting funds ($158.94 for the latter), and about two hundred and fifty copies of “Christ’s Object Lessons” were ordered. A faithful paying of these pledges will bring great blessings to the givers. S. S. SHROCK.
