Oklahoma

By G. F. Happner

THE work in Oklahoma is still onward. The laborers in the field are of good courage, and some of them are having good success. I was recently called to help Sister Syp in her meetings at Concord. At a meeting appointed for prayer for those who were interested and for the success of the meeting, the Lord came near, and we realized that he heard our prayers. After a few more meetings, those very ones for whom prayer was offered took their stand on the Lord’s side. This was a source of great encouragement to the little company here. Only about four of the original members of the Concord church remained, so we reorganized the church, with about twenty members. Four were baptized, and four or five are ready for baptism; the others were Sabbath-keepers who never joined the church before. There is still a good interest, and Sister Syp will continue the meetings.

The Perry church had an increase of about seventeen members lately. Elder Conway baptized thirteen a few weeks ago. The Pauls Valley (I. T.) church, which was lately organized, has had quite an increase since it was organized. Several companies will soon be ready to be organized. The Lord is blessing us, for which we feel very grateful to him who always gives us the victory.
