From the Chicago meeting I made this trip.  The meeting was inspiring, but what I saw in the field, of character-building and the uplifting and refining of a race, was more than inspiring—­it was thrilling.

At Dodds and Roxton a few hymn books are needed.  A dozen or two Gospel Hymns or other singing books for each church would do great good.  Papers for the children are also needed.  They should be sent to Rev. Mark Carlisle, Dodds, Texas.

Papers for the children could be well used at Paris, Texas, Rev. J.D.  Pettigrew; Dallas, Texas, Rev. Mr. Holloway; Helena and Goliad, Texas, Rev. M. Thompson; Corpus Christi, Texas, Rev. J.W.  Strong.

REVIVAL AT WASHINGTON, D.C.

BY REV.  GEO. W. MOORE.

There have been over forty conversions reported and thirty have been added to our church on profession of faith.  There is a revival now in progress at the Freedmen’s Hospital as a direct outgrowth of our meetings.  Several of the young people of our church, including some of the converts, were instrumental in leading a number to the Saviour.  I am planning to assist them in dealing with inquirers there, to-night.  There have been revival services in three other churches.  The meetings held in our place were indeed a season of refreshing from the presence of the Lord.

Our chapel was crowded on Thanksgiving morning; the sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Grimke, pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, followed by an address by myself.  The pastors of the Berean Baptist Church, Methodist Church and the Lutheran Mission were on the platform, the Plymouth Church holding a service of their own.  In the evening we held a Thanksgiving praise service, in which about one hundred persons, including thirty-five of the converts, gave short thanksgiving testimonies.

Last Sabbath I baptized fourteen by immersion and received twenty-seven into the church on profession of faith, and three since, making a total of thirty.  Rev. Eugene May of Osage, Iowa, one of the delegates I met at the World’s Sunday-school Convention this summer in London, gave us a powerful sermon on the characters of “Dives and Lazarus Contrasted.”  In the evening I preached a sermon to the church on “The Christian Armor” and we had the Lord’s Supper.  Last night, after addressing the young Christians on “The Way to God,” as illustrated by the worthies of Hebrews eleventh, we had them testify on how they came to Christ, the one thing they did and what they got.  The answers were all intelligent and to the point. Decision was what they did, and Christ was what they got, were the answers put in various forms.  At the close of the meeting I asked a gentleman, a member of another church, the Berean Baptist, who always attends our special services, to say a few words.  He testified to the help and inspiration he had received from the meetings; that he had never listened to clearer testimonies of
