Evangelist Wharton’s visit did us a great deal of good. Not only have
souls been converted, but the church has been edified. In the revival
there were six hopeful conversions, and four joined our church, among them
a very promising young man.
Our people are becoming more and more willing to divide their little mite
with the church. They make a special effort once a month to help raise the
pastor’s salary by giving what they call a "surprise party," bringing
packages of flour, sugar, coffee, meal, rice, fish, etc., for which I give
them credit. Sometimes the unconverted are with them. They come in
singing, fill the table, then a prayer, and return at once, singing as
they go. By this process we are able to send in a better report than we
have been doing.
