Texas

By E. B. HOPKINS

By request I began labor in Texas in December, 1902. A few weeks later I attended an institute held in Keene, to which all the laborers were called. Since the first of March, 1903, I have been working in eastern Texas. The Lord has wonderfully blessed my efforts. Feeling that the message must go with power, I have fully consecrated myself to the Lord and his cause. I have organized two churches, baptized forty-five persons, and five others are awaiting baptism. Besides those just referred to, several backsliders have been reclaimed, and some from other churches have united with us.

Three church schools will be conducted this winter in Cass County, where I have labored the greater part of the summer. Two schools were conducted in this county last winter,—one at Marietta, taught by Brother W. L. Adams, who will teach again this winter; the other at Avinger. At Cusseta, where a church was recently organized, a church school will be taught by Mrs. Emma Johnson.

I was never of better courage. To the Lord be all the praise. Pray for the work here. E. B. HOPKINS.
