TEXAS TENT, NO. 1.

By E. M. Kilgore

Savoy, June 19.—Since last report we are able to say progress. Our tent is well filled every evening. Have had but little opposition thus far. The country is aroused. People of all classes and churches are in attendance. We are now in the midst of the Sabbath question. Several are already convinced of the obligation of the Sabbath, and will keep it. Some who were bitterly prejudiced at first, now attend regularly, and are favorably impressed. By the help of the Lord we shall press the battle.

Bro. Stevenson has just returned from Denison, where he reports progress also. Twenty-four attended prayer-meeting, and nearly all took part. All seem of good courage.

A letter from my wife states that two more at Peoria, and two more families in Bro. Chrisman's neighborhood, have embraced the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Courage, brethren, all along the line. The Lord is working, and we must work. There are more calls than we are able to fill. The call for an arbor meeting at Turner's Point, Kaufman Co., strikes a responsive chord in our hearts. We shall try to fulfill the request, and will appoint just as soon as we can. Get ready, brethren; and let all within a reasonable distance make an effort to be there, and stay until the close of the meeting. E. M. KILGORE.
