A. Report From Brother Loughborough

By John Norton Loughborough

At the time of my last report, September 21, I was at Des Moines, Iowa. The sanitarium there had a fair patronage. After my meetings with the church, I held meetings in Ottumwa, at the Rome camp-meeting, and at Cedar Rapids, all in Iowa. Then I met with our people at Omaha, Neb. A two days' joint meeting of the churches of Kansas City, Kan., and Kansas City, Mo., was held in the commodious meeting house which our people now have in Kansas City, Mo. From this point I came to College View, Neb., where I spent ten days, speaking to the churches of Lincoln and College View, and occupying the morning hour for seven mornings with the students in the college chapel. This was an especially interesting season for me. I was pleased to see the interesting class of intelligent young men and women gathered in the school. May the Lord fit them for real service in his cause, is my prayer.

From College View I came to Colorado Springs, Colo., where I spent three days in interesting meetings with that church. During my stay I was well cared for by Brother and Sister Patterson at their vegetarian cafe and lodging rooms, No. 222½ North Tejon Street. Any of our people stopping for a time in Colorado Springs will find this a reasonable place to tarry, and near the railroad station.

From Colorado Springs I returned home, arriving in Oakland, Cal., on the evening of November 4, after an absence of sixteen weeks and two days. I find by reference to my diary, that during this time I have traveled by railroad 6,370 miles, attended one hundred and seventy-five meetings, and that in these meetings I have given one hundred and three discourses, that I have also made seventy-five visits, and I have come home with better health than when I left. Thanks be to the Lord for all his mercies and blessings.
