ALVA.— Since our last report we have continued our meetings four weeks, with good attendance and good interest, but with plenty of opposition from the Campbellites, which was met in such a way as to be beneficial to our meetings.

September 30 we had a storm that tore our tent in six different places from top to bottom, and then tore it up into little strips from one to six inches wide, a whole armful, but never broke a rope nor pulled a stake. We repaired our tent, and continued to hold meetings until October 14, at which time we baptized two men and their wives. Many others are interested, and we expect not less than ten persons, heads of families, to unite with us.

There is a good interest in this vicinity, and we expect much good yet to be accomplished here. Brother Fittro and wife will remain here, doing house-to-house work for a time, then we will hold another meeting in a schoolhouse or church, and follow up the work that is started till we get a strong church fully equipped.

I will now spend a few days at home, then return to Weatherford and follow up the work. Pray for the work at this place. J. R. BAGBY.
