We have just passed through a precious season of revival. We began a
series of meetings during the week of prayer. God’s presence and blessing
were manifestly with us, so we were constrained to continue them another
week, holding meetings every night. Fifteen were turned to God. Nine of
them have united with our church and have begun service for the Master.
The meetings were well attended, and our whole church was stirred up to
more faithful work for God and humanity. Our church is steadily increasing
in strength. Almost every Sabbath some one is taken into membership. We
have on our books nearly two hundred and fifty people who have pledged
themselves to give weekly on an average ten cents or more toward the
support of the church. We love the American Missionary Association, and
appreciate all that it is doing for us. We need its aid just now. We
cannot get on without it. But we do not mean to make what you do for us an
excuse for doing less for ourselves.
