Hot Springs.—As is generally known, Hot Springs is a popular health resort. Special provision has been made for caring for the large crowds that come to this place on holiday occasions, and for the nearly one hundred fifty thousand guests who visit the place in the course of a year. All classes of people are represented. The regular population is nearly fifty thousand, many of whom spend their entire time caring for the visiting invalids.

The third angel’s message has been introduced in Hot Springs, and there are a number of Sabbath-keepers, but they have no meeting-house in the city. Elder and Sister A. P. Heycock are looking after the interests of the work as well as their years will permit; but they need help. The holiday occasions should be taken advantage of for the presentation of the truth to the vast crowds that visit the city. Especially should the visiting sick have a reasonable opportunity to study the truth. They have much time to read, and booksellers are kept busy.

On a recent visit, I found Brother and Sister Heycock praying that the Lord would help them to take advantage of a good offer for a meeting-house. A church building belonging to one of the denominations was found too small for the congregation, so they are building a larger one, offering their former building for sale. The church is a frame structure, twenty-four by forty feet, in good repair and conveniently located on a suitable street. It is offered for twenty-two hundred dollars, the lot alone, in its good location, being worth close to one thousand dollars.

Here is a choice field for sowing the seeds of truth. For any information regarding the place, address A. P. Heycock, R. F. D. 2, Hot Springs, Ark. L. F. HANSEN.
