Oklahoma

By M. G. Nunes

MUSKOGEE.—The readers of the REVIEW will be glad to know that as a result of the tent meeting begun in Muskogee, July 5, in the interest of the colored people, who represent fifteen thousand of the population of this place, many are now attending our Sabbath services. When we move into our temporary premises, we hope to organize a church of fifty strong members. At our meetings we could not seat all the people. Some nights as many as four hundred would be standing around a full tent.

On account of the opposition against the message, we made free use of the daily papers, presenting in short articles the message to the world today.

We have been called into a debate on the Sabbath question. We tried to avoid it, but could not. The man who desires to debate is the pastor of the leading Baptist church, which has a membership of one thousand.

We have on foot plans to awaken every large city of Oklahoma. The conference has ordered a large tent for us, with a seating capacity of 600.

The message is going among our colored people. Pray for the work in Muskogee. M. G. NUNES.
