OUR CHURCH WORK BROADSIDE.
LINCOLN MISSION, WASHINGTON, D.C.
REV. S. P. SMITH.
I am glad to say that the religious state of the Lincoln Memorial Church at present is good. It was organized the 10th of last January with eleven members. In April the Lord poured out a special blessing upon us, the result of which was eight converts. The church has doubled its membership since its organization. In this revival there was a little girl converted about nine years old, and an aged mother about seventy-five. We have had only one admitted to the church by letter; ten on confession of faith. There is quite a large temperance work here carried on by Mrs. Babcock. This temperance society is known as the Lincoln Mission Band of Hope.
Our Sunday-school is very large in the winter, but it thins out in the summer. The largest attendance during any time through the winter was 530.
The Lincoln Mission building in which our church worships has been greatly improved. The large hall has been re-plastered and painted inside and out.
We have sent two from the Lincoln Mission to Howard University. This church also sent $4.06 to the American Missionary Association.
