Maryland

By Gustavus P. Rodgers

BALTIMORE.—Since our last report, we have observed the week of prayer. From the very beginning, every member sought the Lord earnestly, not only for a refreshing from on high, but that souls who were longing for assurance of acceptance with God might come to enjoy the "peace of God, which passeth all understanding."
The Spirit of God touched hearts. Altogether, twelve took their stand on the side of right. Ten united with the church. There are still seven persons for whom we are earnestly praying and working. We ask that you unite your prayers with ours for their salvation. Without doubt we have had a few drops of the latter rain, and from their deep poverty our members gave ten dollars as an annual offering.
Our general meeting will be held January 14-18, instead of January 7-11 as formerly announced. We are especially anxious to have all the colored believers in the Chesapeake Conference present. More effective plans will then be laid for reaching the 275,000 colored persons scattered throughout Maryland and Delaware. We have never before had a general meeting of our colored brethren, and we expect a feast of good things.
