PRAISE TIVE LORD"

123, l25 WILLIAM ST., NEW YORK Cry,
Decsmber 18th, 1882. I
Dear Interior.
We faced our first New York audience to-
night In Clarendon Hsll-l3th o., near 4th
Ave. There were about rs TO 100 persons
present, who listened with close attention.
We are quite encouraged to 20 on. First
the blade, then the ear. then the full corn
in the ear" We came to the city quite
unheralded. Last Sunday night / preach
ed for Bro. A. b. Simpson, formerly Of Lou.
isville, and this meeting at Clarendon Hall
grew out Of that sermon. Several wished
to hear more. and the way opened. The
Hall holds about 800 and is a neat, CHEEKY
place, we'll lighted and warmed. Report
srs from the Sun and World were present,
but Of course we can not tell yet what no.
tice, II any, the papers will take Of us.
Georgia made her debut as one Of the
troupe tonight, greatly to our Joy and her
own, after she found how easy il was to
serve the k0RD. She sings a very nice
alto to Marie's soprano, all by ear Of course,
as neither OF the dear children know a note.
She promises to be quite an acquisition.
She has been consecrated TO THE service for
quite while, but sang in public for the
first time tonight. 1t is little odd, that
with her great timidity, she should begin
on New York audience, but the LORD
gives needed grace always.
You can not imagine how glad we are to
get to preaching and singing again. Just
think Of 9 days without it, except the one
service Sunday night 1t seems little age
Of inactivity. And yet we have been very
busy. The enclosed Circular, with the cor
respondence involved in getting every thing
of in due time, the printing. the picture
FASTING on mementos, and so on and so
forth, ate up the time so rapidly that we
found very little time for any thing else
besides this particular business May the
LORD send blessing with il all. II is a
"labor Of love-"
All well and happy in the LORD; trust
ing for daily bread and getting il OF course.
How could il be otherwise with our Fa-
ther, knowing our wants. At present we
are in the 4th story Of a tenement house OF
the better class, all in the same room, warm
ed with a CRATE and lighted with gas. We
get our coal in by the bag and keep ii in a
box in the closet. We take our meals alta
house across the street We are almost jol-
" in thus getting back to our "higglety
pigglety," free and easy life that we were
