I find my work constantly increasing; indeed there is no limit, only a lack of time and strength. Really, there is work enough for two or three more, whose whole attention can be given to it. I am happy to say that some of our colored sisters are able to give us considerable help in missionary work, and we feel confident that more aid from the younger ones may be expected. We have formed a society called “The Mission Workers,” the object of which is to awaken a greater interest in home and foreign missions. The proceeds of a sale which we are to have at Christmas will be devoted to this purpose. Since beginning work in the fall I have called on one hundred and thirty-three families. When convenient, as in most cases, I have read the Bible and tracts or papers to the women, also offering prayer with them; have established a weekly prayer-meeting for the women, some distance from the Home; also one weekly in my room, in which white and colored lead by turns. They are precious seasons to us all, and we feel that a blessing is for us. Several of our members, whose husbands are unconverted, meet in their homes to pray for their conversion. Friends frequently present requests for prayers. I have also quite a large class of married women and one young man, reciting to me, in the afternoon, in the various branches of common school studies, and could have a much larger class were I to open a night school, but I dare not undertake that, my time is so fully occupied during the day. * * * * * LOUISIANA. Revival in Central Church--English Evangelists. W. S. ALEXANDER, D. D., NEW ORLEANS. In my last letter the hope was expressed that we might have good tidings to send you. God has graciously and marvelously answered our prayer. The month of November was a blessed month in Central Church. The week of prayer in January has in other years been the beginning of real, earnest revival effort. The revival seasons of blessed memory have dated from this holy week. But the coming of two English Evangelists, James Wharton and Richard Irving, during the last days of October, called for immediate action, and we decided at once to open revival meetings, and to engage in a united and earnest effort for the salvation of sinners.
