BLACK ROCK.—The week of prayer was a blessing to us. O that we may heed the counsel given! We are trying in the strength of Jesus to follow in his footsteps.

For some time we felt the need of a church-school, for we realized that our children and youth must be trained for Jesus. This fall we completed our little church building, and a teacher was secured, Sister Jessie McConnell, who now has an interesting school of twenty-one. This is the end of the second month. We thank the kind Father for these blessings.

This is an excellent fruit country, and is beautifully situated for a sanitarium as well as a school. The water is good.

There is a tract of land near the church building, containing one hundred acres. This was once known as a health resort. A large hotel was erected on this property, and people came from far and near to enjoy the benefits of a mineral spring. A few years ago the owner died. Since then the building has gone to wreck, and the land is now for sale.

Perhaps there are isolated ones who need the privilege of a school, and others who might like to help start treatment rooms. There is room to work. Let those who have a burden for the work in the South think and pray over this matter. Address the writer, at Black Rock, Ark., for further information.
