Work in the South

By S. S. Ryles

At the close of a short series of meetings with the Second Seventh-day Adventist church of Kansas City, Mo., two persons were baptized. One other awaits baptism. Notwithstanding unfavorable weather we had a fairly good attendance of the members, and a good interest was manifested by others, and best of all, we have enjoyed the blessed presence of the Holy Spirit.
Elder Loughborough gave a stirring sermon on the progress of the message and its history for the past fifty years, and dwelt upon the necessity of obeying the bidding of the testimony of Jesus, which is the spirit of prophecy, that we come behind in no gift, waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus. 1 Cor. 1:1-10. This church has a flourishing Sabbath-school.
On my return to Arkansas I visited a local camp-meeting at Newport, Ark., and listened to some soul-stirring sermonsfrom Elders N. P. Nelson and son and H. Griffin. Now we are in Devall Bluff, planning to begin a church school in January, 1904, and to erect a building for school and church services the coming year.
