Oklahoma

By M. JONES.

LEAVING Pine Bluff, Ark., August 17. I met with the church at Wagoner, Okla., and planned for a series of services for a week. We were, however, interrupted by a call to attend the camp-meeting at Enid, and this brought our interesting meetings to a close. Our Sabbath and Sunday services will never be forgotten. As we reviewed the signs of the near coming of our Saviour, and how we should relate ourselves to that solemn event, each heart could realize that that hour was upon us all, and if anything is to be done, prompt action must now be taken. The attention of the brethren was then called on Sunday to the necessity of a memorial in Wagoner,—a meeting place, in which God's people may assemble to raise their voices in hymns of gratitude and adoration. In this good work all joined readily, and as a result twenty dollars in cash and pledges was raised to begin this important work. It was agreed that the pledges be matured in ten days, during which time Brother Settle be empowered to look out a suitable spot, and make permanent arrangements in the interest of a church building. Some not of our faith, who met with us on the Sabbath, were constrained to return next day. These came four miles on foot, so as not to miss the meetings. One decided to join the little company again on Sabbath, August 20. We feel sure that if this good work could be followed up, these would take their stand for the truth. Four united with the church by baptism. Although we make slow progress, yet one can witness the workings of the Holy Spirit in our midst.
