WEBB CITY AND CARTERVILLE.—At the close of our State camp-meeting I came to Webb City in company with Brother F. F. Bliss, a recent convert to the third angel's message. This brother has had an experience of twenty-five years as a Methodist minister.

We pitched our tent, and held meetings five weeks, and then closed the effort with a local camp-meeting, which was greatly enjoyed by the brethren in the southwestern part of the State.

Thirteen have decided to obey God and keep all his commandments as the result of our meeting. At the close of the camp-meeting I baptized ten, who united with the Joplin and Carthage churches.

Though the season was getting late, we pitched our tents anew, and began meeting in the adjoining town of Carterville, October 21. After continuing four weeks we closed the meeting November 17, and at present writing are storm-bound under some five inches of snow and sleet, which has broken down the large tent and damaged it considerably.

Six have taken a firm stand for God here, and others are hopeful. I rejoice in the privilege of being a worker in this last great message. It never looked brighter to me than it does now. D. E. SCOLES.
