We know you will rejoice with us in the good work at Plymouth Church,
Washington, D.C. In January we began a special series of meetings. I
preached short sermons nearly every night, save Saturdays, for more than
three weeks. About fifty have been hopefully brought to a saving
knowledge of Christ. The church was never, perhaps, more deeply stirred
than at this time. There seems to be a thirsting for a deeper work of
grace among Christians, a thorough coming out from the world. It was a
beautiful sight yesterday, when before the altar twenty-nine "new
recruits" took upon themselves the covenant of the church.. The most of
the remaining converts will unite with us at our next communion. A few
of them will join elsewhere. Our church is getting well organized for
work along all lines of Christian activity. The Endeavor Society among
our young people, now the largest in number in the district, is a real
power for good. The Sunday-school is taking on new life. There is before
us in this city "an exceeding good land," but before full possession,
many battles must be fought, spiritual and financial. But we have great
reason to be thankful.
