A Word From North Missouri

By A. R. Ogden

WE are glad to be able to give a good report of the work in this conference. Success, in the conversion of souls, has attended the efforts put forth in various localities. A several weeks’ meeting at Greensburg, conducted by Elder J. W. Beams, assisted by the writer for one week, resulted in the reorganization of the church, which for several years, because of removals and other hindrances, had been wholly disorganized. About fifteen members were gathered in. As a result of a series of meetings held in Kansas City by Mrs. Lulu Wightman, assisted by the pastor, Elder B. L. Dieffenbacher, and Sister E. A. Merrell in Bible work, about fifteen souls were also gathered in at that place.

A successful canvassers’ institute was held at Goldsberry during the latter part of March. Several were converted during the meeting. We confidently expect good results from the work of the faithful canvassers. The institute was largely of a spiritual nature, that side of the book work being kept prominently before the workers. We believe that the workers, after such a season of seeking the Lord, go out into the field better prepared for service in so high a calling.

We plan to operate five tents in our field during the summer. As a result of these efforts, we hope to see, within a few months, many persons who at the present time know nothing of God’s last message to the world, rejoicing in the new-found light and living in harmony with it. To this end we shall unitedly work and pray. A. R. OGDEN.
