Texas

SAN ANTONIO.—After our camp-meeting we spent about ten days at Lytle, visiting among the interested ones there. Four had taken their stand for the truth during our tent effort in that place; these we found faithful, and still rejoicing in the truth.

On the fifth of September we made arrangements to begin meetings ten miles east of San Antonio, in what is known as the “China Grove” neighborhood. From the first, the attendance was good. The people were kind, and there was but very little prejudice. We continued the meetings five weeks, and several were not absent from a single service.

We closed our meetings on Sunday night, October 15. When we told our congregation that we had tried faithfully to preach the truth, and now they must answer to God for what they heard, tears came to the eyes of some, and others wept as we told them good-by.

It was our privilege that Sunday afternoon to baptize seven dear souls as a result of these meetings. We hope to see others take their stand with us, as many said, “You have preached the truth.”

We praise God for this precious truth; and we are glad to have a part in its closing work, and we hope soon to triumph with the message.
