HUNGRY FOR THE TRUTH.

By B. Hagle

We left Mendon, Mich., for Render, Ky., Sunday evening, May 26, arriving here the 27th inst., at 10 P. M. The next evening we held a meeting in the Baptist church, and had an attentive congregation. The next evening we held a meeting in the schoolhouse, as another man was to have the church. To our surprise, all the people came to our meeting, and the man who was to speak in the church came over to our service, also.

We pitched our tent, seated it, and the first night it was filled; and it is just so every night. Sunday night, June 2, the tent would not hold all who came, and many stood on the outside. Truly, this people are hungry for the truth. My prayer is that the Lord will fill me and them with His Holy Spirit. A man and his wife who live nearly eight miles from here are staying with friends at this place, so they can learn the truth. They say they are convinced. At the close of our meeting last night, a woman pleaded for us to come with our tent to the town where she lives, about twelve miles away. She said she wanted to learn the truth. I gave her some reading-matter and promised to call on her. We are receiving more calls than we can fill.

If many of the brethren in Michigan would come and live out the truth in this needy field, God would bless them. The time has fully come for God's people to proclaim this message, thus hastening the coming of the Lord. Brethren, do you believe the message? If so, why not go to work and prepare to hear the “Well done,” said unto you? We know the Lord's hand was in our coming to this place, and we ask you to remember this needy field with your prayers.
