Louisiana

By J. F. Weathington

I AM thankful to report my efforts in Louisiana in circulating the Missions number of the REVIEW. I ordered one hundred twenty-five copies. After receiving these, by some mistake as many more were sent me, I did not return them, but went to work with them, in the name of the Lord. Some of the brethren and sisters helped me. I traveled some on the railroad, visiting towns and churches, preaching and speaking as I had opportunity. I had a blessed experience among both white and colored.
The most I received for one paper was $1.10. I placed some papers in the hands of a brother about twenty miles above Greenwood, which resulted in the return of $6.05. My expenses on the railroad were about four dollars. I gave all my time to missions—not because I am able to do so, but I want to do all I can to hasten the work in this difficult field, where sin seems to be mountain high. I have sent in, altogether, twenty-one dollars, and have more to collect.
Pray for the work here. While the enemy is active, the Lord is strong to overrule his efforts.
Two new pupils came to our school last week, and six or seven are expected this week. The Scripture truly says we can do nothing against the truth, but for it. J. F. WEATHINGTON.
