MONTANA

By J. C. Foster

The work of the Lord is onward in this Conference. Last summer witnessed marked progress in almost all branches of the work. The five camp meetings were seasons of refreshing to those in attendance. The book work and other missionary enterprises have been blessed of the Lord. The tent efforts have brought souls into the truth.
Our tent was situated at Red Lodge, a mining camp of a little over two thousand inhabitants. There was one aged couple in the place who kept the Sabbath; but our work and people were practically unknown. In company with Brother and Sister Kime, I began laboring here the first of June, introducing the work with the Signs of the Times. The tent effort began July 13. From the start, we had a fair attendance. Several took their stand for the truth, among them two school-teachers and a lady who is in business in the city.
As the weather grew cooler, and the tent season drew to a close, it was evident that we needed a house of worship. We made it a matter of earnest prayer, and the Lord opened the way in a marked manner. We now have a comfortable house, which will seat about one hundred and twenty persons. The property is worth about fifteen hundred dollars, and is practically free from debt, there being sufficient unpaid pledges to meet the indebtedness.
