ARKANSAS

By C. W. Brimer; H. Clay Griffin

BLACK ROCK.—We pitched our tent one and one-half miles from Black Rock, Ark., and began meetings June 5. From the first, the interest was good. We closed July 30. During the eight Sundays we were there, we had seven all-day meetings, with dinner on the grounds. From two hundred and fifty to five hundred persons were on the grounds each Sunday and night after the Sabbath. During the week, our congregations ranged from fifty to one hundred and twenty-five at night. We had the best of order and good attention. The last night of the meeting, our forty-foot tent would not hold the people; and at the close of the service, nearly every one present came forward, and gave us his hand as a token of his appreciation of our stay among them.

Fifteen are keeping the Sabbath as a result of our efforts, and many more are convinced, and are in the valley of decision. Many thought it the best meeting of their lives, and were sorry to have it close. We had no opposition to speak of, and left many warm friends, who urgently request us to return after camp-meeting, and pitch the tent in Black Rock. Prov. 16:7.
