Louisiana

By E. L. Maxwell

NEW ORLEANS.—At the request of Elder S. B. Horton, the writer occupied the pulpit of the New Orleans church Sabbath, December 21. The last week-of-prayer reading was taken up, and at its conclusion nearly all present bore testimony of blessings obtained and victories achieved during the week.
I know it would have cheered the hearts of our faithful brethren in the forefront of the fight, to see these believers in the message—mostly sisters—consecrating their means, their powers, and their lives to the cause of truth. Their solicitude for the workers in the regions beyond was thus expressed by one who has the care of an aged mother:
“I shall give more than ever before, and I pray for our missionaries very night.”
The refreshing has reached us here in the Southland, and it has taught us to see not only the needs of our own field, but to lift up our eyes and look on the fields abroad, and to give as our mission work enlarges. A very substantial collection was taken at the close of the service.
E. L. MAXWELL.
