BROTHER GEORGE CRAWFORD reports from Cove Creek, N. C., that following a series of revival meetings by Elder R. T. Nash and himself in that place, “eight souls made a public profession of faith in Jesus, and three of them promised to keep the Sabbath.” A Sabbath-school was organized January 2. The church school is prospering, and doing much to bring a knowledge of the Saviour to the children, many of whom never heard a prayer until Brother Nash began preaching there recently.
WRITING of the outlook for the Oakwood Industrial School at Huntsville, Ala., Brother J. H. Smith says it “is constantly increasing both in members and in spiritual growth. Several of the students who came here not knowing God, have given their hearts to him for the first time. This gives us more joy than any other advancement that could be made. There are about forty students in the school home now. Most of them are of an older class, who appreciate the value of an education, and are willing to put forth an effort to obtain it. They have, as a rule, an ambition to become workers for the Master.”
