ARKANSAS

By Chas. F. Parmele

LITTLE ROCK.—“Oct. 12, 1901, twelve persons met at the Little Rock branch of the Battle Creek Sanitarium for the purpose of organizing a Seventh-day Adventist church. Through the providence of God a number of these persons were brought together in the sanitarium work, others coming in later to engage in Bible and colporteur work.”
By the preceding extract from the records of the church clerk, it will be seen that at last an effort has been begun in this the most important city in Arkansas. Here is a very interesting and needy field, and many souls are longing for the saving truths of the message.
Sabbath, January 4, we held our first quarterly meeting. A spirit of unity and consecration was plainly revealed. A good tithe and annual offering had come in, which we hope may encourage this struggling Conference to send a minister soon to labor here.
My wife and I have enjoyed our connection with the work and workers here for the past three months; we are working on the resident canvassing plan. As we now go to answer a call from another field, we earnestly pray that some devoted workers may be moved to come here. It is a good opening for consecrated talent to develop while doing a good work for eternity. CHAS. F. PARMELE.
