MISSOURI

By W. S. Cruzan

The time between the Poplar Bluff camp-meeting and the Conference at Utica I spent in visiting the churches' and companies in southern and eastern Missouri. November 6-11 was spent at Sabula. The word spoken was appreciated by the brethren, and seemed to give them new courage. November 12-14 was spent with the little company at Glen Allen; and as there had been but little preaching at this place by our people for some time, the brethren and sisters seemed hungry for the words of truth.

At St. Louis I held three services with the church, November 15-18. We enjoyed God's blessing in our services. The St. Louis church has not been able to do the work that it should for the lack of a proper place in which to meet, but the Lord has blessed them in giving them a suitable place of worship of their own, near the corner of Delmar and Newstead Avenues.

The brethren at Rolla and vicinity were visited November 20-28. Three services were held with the Springfield church, November 29 to December 1. Of late the Lord has been blessing this church through the labors of Brother D. P. Zeigler; and it is rising to “higher ground.” They now have a house of their own in which to worship.

The week of prayer was spent with the church at Mt. View. Two services were held each day, and were fairly attended, considering the extremely cold weather. The week of prayer services were a great blessing to all. Three united with the church.
