Shreveport Tent Effort for the Colored

By T. B. Buckner

BRIEF reports of our work for the colored in the city of Shreveport, La., have already appeared in the Southern Union Worker. The meetings were well attended from the beginning. Elder Sydney Scott was with me several weeks, and rendered good service, but he had to leave the first of July to begin a tent effort in Jackson, Miss. When a call was made for those who desired to keep all the commandments to sign a covenant to that effect, a goodly number responded. On Sabbath, September 11, we organized a church of twenty-four. Since then four more have been added. Our contributions have been good. Though times are hard, we have collected about one hundred and fifty dollars, covering all running expenses of the meetings, with a surplus for the conference treasury.

We are glad also to hear of the progress of the work in other parts of the great harvest field where tent efforts or camp meetings have been held. When we see precious souls coming into the truth everywhere, we rejoice, and double our efforts to finish the work.
