The work in uiir Church was a gradual one. We held meetings every night for ncaily five weeks, und it was my privilege lo admin¬ ister the. ordinance of hapti-m for eight Sabbaths lit succession. You will see Irom looking at my two reports that seven¬ ty-four have been added to our Church during the last six months. There is still some concern manifested, especially an ong the blacks for whom 1 pi each in the afternoon of each Sabbath. During Ihe meeting Plot. I’.
