BURLESON.—I began tent-meetings at Burleson the night of July 1. Although only ten miles from Keene, where it was supposed there was not much interest, we made preparation for a good attendance, and have not been disappointed. But we worked and prayed for it. In the first place, I procured the best location the town afforded for a tent. Then we fixed up the tent neatly, with good seats, and we keep it in nice order. And besides the notice in the local paper, which I wrote myself and furnished the editor, I had a liberal supply of carefully worded dodgers printed, and with these I went in person to every house in the town. This gave me a chance to meet the people and give them a personal invitation to the meeting, while helpers distributed them along the country roads. The result was a good audience the first night. Then we began our visiting right away.

The meeting has now been in progress a week, and the congregations have continued to increase until the tent will not hold all who come, and seats have been placed on the outside. The people are extremely kind to us, supplying many of our wants in the way of eatables, and showing us many other courtesies. It is too early yet to tell what the final outcome will be, but everything looks favorable, and we hope for good results. To this end we desire the prayers of God's people.
