The Third Angel’s Message in Columbia

By D. E. Scoles; E. A. Merrell

Missouri

COLUMBIA.—This is the State University town, and has never been entered before by the third angel's message. It has a population of about eight thousand, and possesses many of the features of a distinctly Southern city. There is a large negro population here, and the color-line is very decidedly drawn. I think I have never seen another place where the people in general were so hospitable and friendly.
We secured the court-house yard for our tent. June 16 we began meetings, and have had an excellent attendance, sometimes many being obliged to stand during the entire service. The people are deeply stirred, and we are praying that God will raise up a monument of living witnesses to his truth in this educational center. Our camp-meeting will be held here in August. Pray for us, that the word of God may effectually work in us and in the people of this place. D. E. SCOLES, E. A. MERRELL.
