KIRBYVILLE.—The Lord has greatly blessed our efforts. I began the meetings here some time ago, with the help of Elder McCutchen. Three have been baptized, and two others have begun to keep the commandments. Others are interested, and I hope to see them take their stand. I have made arrangements for lumber to build a church here. The Lord is willing to do for us above all we ask or think, and man's necessity is God's opportunity. I thank him for his goodness to the children of men. While he could have used his angels to warn this world, he has given man a part to act, for which we ought to be grateful. We should improve every opportunity; for soon the work will close. May God help every one to be as true as a needle to the pole. There is much to be done, and where are the ones to say, “Here am I; Lord, send me”?

The Southern field is the most difficult one to work; and while that is true, we know that God has a people here. Then let us work diligently and sow beside all waters, and God will give the increase. May his servants be of good cheer. The battle is the Lord's, and he will help all who seek to do his will. May the Lord raise up more laborers to fill the places of those who are falling in death. I desire to be remembered at the throne of grace, that God may direct his work in this destitute field. O.
