Many white people attended every night meeting. Indeed, more white people attended the services than had ever attended any one meeting here since the church was built. A number of them have expressed themselves well pleased with the preaching.
Seven persons, two of them pupils in our Normal School, professed faith in Christ. We think the influence on the community, both white and colored, has been good.
SAVANNAH, GA.
My work in Savannah, as supply, during the summer, was greatly blessed of the Lord. For nearly two months my efforts were to become acquainted with the church and people in general, and in the meantime we were preparing our hearts for the ingathering of precious souls. On Monday night, July 18th, we began a series of meetings for the unconverted. They continued about three weeks, during which time thirty confessed Christ. Most of these, we believe, were hopefully converted. Three or four of those who sought Christ in the meetings have been brought out into the light of a dear Saviour since the meetings closed; thus making the number more than thirty. Seventeen united with us, and a few more will come in at the next communion. Some, of course, joined other churches with their parents or friends. We held a young convert’s meeting each week from the close of the protracted meeting to the last of September, when I left for school. There was nothing to me more cheering than to listen to the simple child-like prayers and talks of the young converts in their meetings. The youngest are three little girls who are respectively about nine, eleven and twelve years old. They are always at their post, and it is hoped that their Christian lives will be long and active.
McINTOSH, CYPRESS SLASH, GA.
In my last letter I informed you of the extra series of meetings we were having. We continued our protracted efforts for two weeks. Now we have the grand result. On last Sabbath I baptized twelve hopeful converts, and four were added on profession; all of these are adults. Sixteen hopeful young men and women have been added to the church within the last two weeks. God has greatly blessed us in our efforts to build up His kingdom, for which we give many thanks, and are very greatly encouraged. Pray for us that others may be added, such as shall be saved.
