Southern Missouri and Kansas Tent.
By J. G. Wood
We have been in this place a little more than four weeks. Have given forty discourses, and debated the destiny of the wicked one day. Twenty-eight have signed the covenant to keep all the commandments of God. Others are interested, and almost decided to obey. We hope and pray that their decision may be in accordance with the will of God and his truth. We bless God for the work he has wrought in this place through the humble efforts of his servants. Bro. Blanchard’s health is poor; he expects to go home to rest and recruit for a short time. Bro. T. J. Butler has been with us a few days, and assisted in preaching the word. We go from here to Clintonville, Cedar Co., Mo., which will be the address of T. J. Butler and J. G. Wood, until further notice. In our last report, we made a mistake in saying all that came out on the truth here last fall were firm. Upon further investigation, we learn that three or four have given up the Sabbath. We hope this little company of Sabbath-keepers will so live and adorn their profession that others may see their good works and glorify our Father in Heaven. J. G. Wood.
