THE COLoRED BAPTISrS
April 1. 1885.
To the Editor of the Eagle
Quarterly report of my pastoral work in
the Second Baptist church in this city:
Feeling it would b. interesting to your
readers Of the daily who are friend, of reli-
gion,I give You a few points connected with
our regular work.
After several successive weeks engaged in
a series of meetings, We are thankful to say
the Lord has blessed our labors by mani
testing himself in our mids: and few souls
have been added to His kingdom in the
earth. We are few in number that are en-
listed in this great work, but our Saviour
told his disciples to fear not little flock, for
it is your Fathers good pleasure to give you
the kingdom.
On taking charge of the church last Sep
TENDER l found it in the slough Of despond,
but prayer was made without ceasing unto
God for the church, and after several months
the church was revived and number of
disciples added. By restoration, 4; watch
care, 10, and conversion, IL; total, %.
Our series of meetings will close Sunday
night, April 5th. With regret that
many others who has manifested
desire 70 come to Christ, but We pray that
the seed that has been sown in the Masters
name may be like the bread that was cast
upon the water, that shall be seen and gath
cred after many DAYS.
Pray for us, my fellow disciples, that God
will carry on the good work in the interests
OF the people.
