The Work in Texas

By W. A. McCutchen

SINCE returning from the General Conference it has seemed impossible to crowd into the days as they came the amount of work to be done. In addition to attending the meetings of the academy board and of the State and union conference committees, in planning the work for the respective fields and institutions, I have visited the churches, companies, and individuals at Dallas, Fort Worth, New Braunfels, San Antonio, Navasota, Krum, Sanger, Avinger, and Hughes Springs. Our laborers have been out on their spring campaign for a few weeks. Four tents are in operation, and probably two others will be started, and two or three meetings held in houses. The places so far entered with tents this season are San Antonio, with Brethren Felter and Neff, and Sister Neff; Coleman City, with Brethren Field, French, and Willess, and Sister Willess; Krum, with Brethren Miller, Brandon, and Mayers, and Sister Mayers; and Hughes Springs, with Brother Hopkins and his daughter, and Brother Stoner. Besides these, Brethren Sommerville, Glass, Riffel, Schiffner, Etheredge, and Cubley, and Sister Cubley have been holding meetings in four different places in houses. I will leave these brethren to report their meetings, as I have been to only two of them, where I helped a few days each.

Three of the tents in use are new ones purchased this year, the brethren of east and west Texas paying for one each for their respective sections, and the conference another for the general field. If the brethren who pledged to the Tent and Missionary fund at our last camp-meeting will send in the amount of their subscriptions, we would like to buy another tent before camp-meeting, but are avoiding going in debt in our operations. Let all begin now to lay plans to attend this important gathering.
