Work for Colored People in Winnsboro, S. C.
By J. F. Crichlow
WEDNESDAY night, July 12, Elder M. C. Strachan preached the gospel in our tent, which was filled to its capacity. Since that first meeting, the attendance has steadily increased. Sister Mabell Mason, our mission-school teacher of Asheville, N. C., is our organist. Many say the Lord has indeed sent us here. The mayor of the city has spoken favorably of the way in which our services are carried on. Because of his endorsement, from ten to fifteen white persons visit our meetings every night. The colored ministers of the city are very friendly toward us. After the services, many remain to ask questions. There is nothing in all the earth like the last message of mercy, which is being proclaimed in all the world with power. We have much for which to praise the Lord. He is good to us. The enemy is ever busy, but our hope is in God. The people are very kind and hospitable, though poor. They say the Bible is a new book to them. We expect good results from this effort. The Lord alone is to be exalted. His message is full of power. J. F. CRICHLOW.
