Texas Missionary Volunteer Convention

By G. F. Watson

This meeting was held at Keene, Tex., February 23-28. From the very first, yes, even before the date of the meeting, many earnest souls began to pray that God would visit us by his good Spirit, to awaken those who believe and to convert the unbelieving. Our prayers were answered in a remarkable manner. What a pity it is that we pray so little. Several of the conference presidents in this union were present, and these, with other ministers and with the teachers in the school, met daily for special prayer. This not only brought us nearer to God, but we are sure that God heard and answered in behalf of others.

Prof. C. Sorenson will give a detailed account of the convention; but I wish to thank the General Conference Department of Missionary Volunteers for the good help sent us. We regret that Prof. H. R. Salisbury could not be with us, but God greatly blessed the labors of Elder Meade MacGuire and Sister Matilda Erickson.
