Progress in Mississippi

By W. H. Sebastian

We came to Natchez July 25, pitched our tent August 1, and began our meeting on the second. The interest has been very good, and the Lord has given us eleven dear souls. We now have in all twenty-one Sabbath-keepers and five children. Many others are interested and desire to unite with us.
We greatly need a building, as the weather will soon be too cold to hold meetings in our tent. If our dear brethren and sisters will co-operate with us, we believe a good work could be accomplished here in the near future. The Lord has opened the work here, and all should join hands and help. The Lord has promised to go before us to open the way, so he wants his people to follow and take up the work that he has left them to do.
Our Sabbath-school will soon be one month old. Among the believers here are four teachers. One of these and another young lady desire to enter one of our schools.
We have good prospects for a church and school. In the north part of the city, on a car line, there is a frame church building, with seating capacity for two hundred persons, and parsonage of four rooms in the rear, owned by the Episcopal Church. This place is for sale. They want twelve hundred dollars for the whole. Lots near the tent are selling for from four hundred to four hundred and fifty dollars each. Will you help us in some way to secure a building for this people? Send remittances to L. V. Crawford, Box 29, Vicksburg, Miss.
