BIRMINGHAM.— We are glad to report that the work is steadily progressing in this part of the Lord's great harvest-field. Since our tent-meetings, three persons have taken their stand with us, and are now rejoicing in the blessed truth. With each of these it was a hard struggle to step out, as many obstacles confronted them.
We have just closed a series of tent-meetings in Gadsden, fifty-eight miles from this place. The effort for four weeks resulted in twelve persons accepting the truth, six of whom have already been baptized, and the remainder are now preparing for baptism at an early date. It was indeed encouraging to see the interest that was manifested by the white people, many coming in wagons from a distance to attend the meetings.
We believe that some of these will accept the truth, if they have not already done so. The company there is ready for organization; an effort is also being made to have a church building as soon as possible, one brother pledging fifty dollars toward buying a lot. Truly the harvest is ripe; honest hearts are ready and waiting for the blessed truth everywhere.
May we all awake to our great responsibility and glorious privilege to give this last message and thus hasten “His glorious appearing.” D. E. BLAKE.
