SUMMARY OF THE WORK IN OKLAHOMA.
By C. Mc Reynolds
Since the close of the annual camp-meeting last October, there has been scarcely an effort made that has not been blessed with fruit. The unfinished work with the new church at Claremore, I. T., received further attention; and it is now a well-developed church in all branches of the message. Over forty persons have accepted the truth there. We left a company of workers at Kingfisher, O. T., after the close of the annual camp-meeting. Though the work pulled hard for a time, a church of twenty members was brought out there. At and near McLoud we have now a company of fifteen adults as the result of a recent effort, where we had but one family before. At Concord several persons were added to the church, and a deep interest still remains to be developed. At Enid and vicinity, as a result of recent labor, seven or eight have taken a stand for the truth, who, with those there before, will make a church. A few have accepted the truth at Foyil, I. T., also a few near Langston, O. T. A meeting is now in progress in Woodward County, and it is reported that seven persons kept last Sabbath. The meeting has been going on only about two weeks. Several persons have also been added to the organized churches. One new German church, at Omega, O. T., is now ready to dedicate, which will be done next Sunday. The new building in Oklahoma City will soon be finished. A work in a western county has resulted in a good company coming out, and a church, numbering twenty-five or more, will be organized. Within the last five months, more than seventy-five persons in this Territory have accepted the message. The courage of the laborers is good, and harmony prevails. And last, but not least, we mention the sanitarium work that has been started in Oklahoma City. The plant as it now stands has cost nearly one thousand dollars. It has been running a little more than two months. It is wholly under the control of the Conference, but pays its own way. The physician, Dr. T. J. Allen, who spent ten years at the Battle Creek Sanitarium, is proving very efficient237and we ask the co-operation of all our people in the Conference. Send in the patients who are able to come and pay their way. We are not in shape to do much charity work, as we ask and get no donations, but our own people will receive a reduction from regular charges. As a result of the recent visit of Dr. Kellogg here, the sanitarium work is about to take on larger proportions. We hope all our people will unite with us in praying the Lord to direct, that no mistake may be made to mar the good work begun.
