North Carolina

By W. L. Killen

THE tent season has arrived; and as we view the situation, we realize as never before the import of our Saviour’s words, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few.” Our first effort will soon begin at Greensboro, a city of twenty-eight thousand inhabitants.
Our conference is still young; we have very little money at our command, and it is no small matter to get even part of the help we need to carry forward such a work. Yet we feel that we must enter our cities, which have barely been touched with the tips of our fingers.
In our conference we have a few earnest young men and women, who, with a little training, would soon be able to go out to work in the great harvest-field; but these are growing up in their homes, having no special work in view. I am burdened for these young people, for we must look to them to carry this message in the South. Southern-born workers can accomplish the work much more easily and quickly than others. In one of our churches we have fifteen young men and women, every one of whom should go out as laborers in the next few years. But we are not able to provide school privileges for them more than four months in the year.
I feel constrained to set forth this situation in the columns of the REVIEW just as it is, and I am sure that some of our more highly favored brethren will be glad to study the situation with us, and perhaps give us real help. I expect to take some of these young people with me in tent work this summer. I am sure that many who read these lines will be glad to send us literature. We can use to good advantage a few hundred copies of the special temperance number of the Watchman, and the special naval edition of the Signs, small books, and a large number of tracts on all points of the truth. Send all post-paid. We feel that we can make our work self-supporting if we can secure these. Send your literature to my address, 917 Union St., Greensboro, N. C. I shall be glad to correspond with any one interested in our work.
