Oklahoma Territory

By E. L. Maxwell

SHAWNEE. — Quarterly meeting was held in the home of J. N. Hufstedler. Meetings were held April 11-14. Most of the church members were present, besides a goodly number of visiting brethren. From the very first, the Spirit was with us in power, and his effectual work on our hearts was manifested in the tractconviction and conversion of souls. Sins that had been indulged and covered up were confessed and forsaken. Some who had almost fallen took hold with renewed courage. The fact that we are in the testing time — the last great sifting time — called forth expressions of new determinations to press on in the strength of God to eternal victory.
Three persons united with the church, two on profession of faith, and one by letter. One was baptized. Officers were elected for the year, as we had no meeting in January. All left the meeting feeling truly blessed. The elder of the church, Brother J. H. Smith, was assisted by Brother Bagby, of Oklahoma City. E. L. MAXWELL.
