Tennessee

By B. Hagle; Mrs. B. Hagle

We left Erin, Tenn., Jan. 2, 1903, stopping at Springville for a week, where we held meetings each evening. The brethren and sisters manifested a desire to labor for the salvation of their neighbors and to engage in the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons,” and as a result some have begun to keep the Sabbath.
We next went to Trezevant, where we spent about one week. When the brethren decided to do their part in the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons,” the blessing of God came in. An elder and a deacon were elected, and four students in the school were converted and baptized, and some who were lukewarm and had not been to church for some time, were revived.
We next visited Leach, where Elder Fulton had preached the truth about eighteen years ago, raising up one of the strongest churches in this conference. A great deal of prejudice was aroused there at that time. The tent was burned, and Elder Fulton's life was threatened. The church held on until about four years ago, when it went down through removals, deaths, and apostasy, only three in the place remaining faithful. We labored there about four weeks, and by the help of God we were able to raise up a church of twenty members, and a Sabbath-school of over forty. We received many calls, but on account of other appointments were not able to fill them.
Truly the harvest is great, but the laborers are few. May the Lord roll the burden on his people to arouse and give the last message of warning while the angels are holding the four winds of strife and war. I praise God that he gives us health and strength to hasten from place to place to give the warning. We have but a short time in which to do this work. It is no time now to become discouraged. Let every one of God's servants arouse and push the work. O that some of our people who are dying because of spiritual inactivity would move into some of these places and teach these people the truth! People can make a living here, and spend part of their time in missionary work. The people must have the warning. We are of good courage in the work.
