Oklahoma

By G. G. Rupert

NEARLY seven weeks ago, by request of Brother Eugene Couch and his mother, I went to their place near Choctaw, to hold a series of meetings. The truth had never been presented there, and the interest was good from the start.

To begin with, Brother Couch placed twenty copies of the “Inspired History of the Nations, Past and Future,” in the immediate neighborhood. During the meetings the people read the book, and listened to the evidences of the truth presented from the desk.

As a result of the work, sixteen adults are now fully established in all points of present truth, and at least as many more are much interested. We expect to return in a short time to finish the work. It is most encouraging to notice the power there is in the plain word of God. This company is composed of about an equal number of men and women. All the men were tobacco users, but are now free from the habit. Swine’s flesh is also discarded, and some are already paying tithe. A Sabbath-school is organized, a leader and a treasurer elected. Ten were baptized. In the near future we hope to organize a church. Brother Couch and my wife were efficient help in this meeting.

We are glad to say our courage is good, and our faith in the truth was never stronger. We ask an interest in the prayers of our friends that God may still bless our work. G. G. RUPERT.
