At Dodds and Roxton a few hymn books are needed. A dozen or two Gospel
Hymns or other singing books for each church would do great good. Papers
for the children are also needed. They should be sent to Rev. Mark
Carlisle, Dodds, Texas.
Papers for the children could be well used at Paris, Texas, Rev. J.D.
Pettigrew; Dallas, Texas, Rev. Mr. Holloway; Helena and Goliad, Texas,
Rev. M. Thompson; Corpus Christi, Texas, Rev. J.W. Strong.

REVIVAL AT WASHINGTON, D.C.
BY REV. GEO. W. MOORE.
There have been over forty conversions reported and thirty have been
added to our church on profession of faith. There is a revival now in
progress at the Freedmen's Hospital as a direct outgrowth of our
meetings. Several of the young people of our church, including some of
the converts, were instrumental in leading a number to the Saviour. I am
planning to assist them in dealing with inquirers there, to-night. There
have been revival services in three other churches. The meetings held in
our place were indeed a season of refreshing from the presence of the
Lord.
Our chapel was crowded on Thanksgiving morning; the sermon was preached
by Rev. Dr. Grimke, pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church,
followed by an address by myself. The pastors of the Berean Baptist
Church, Methodist Church and the Lutheran Mission were on the platform,
the Plymouth Church holding a service of their own. In the evening we
held a Thanksgiving praise service, in which about one hundred persons,
including thirty-five of the converts, gave short thanksgiving
testimonies.
