MISSOURI

By E. A. Merrell

Kansas City.—After the General Conference we moved to this place to labor, and finding the people generally friendly, we pitched our tent on the Fifteenth Street car line, August 20. We have now held thirteen meetings, and the interest is increasing; and though there is another tent pitched within six blocks of us, our congregation does not diminish. Our tent is too small to hold the people, so we have placed folding seats outside. I believe the Lord desires to warn the people of the cities. There is “a sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees,” and it is our earnest desire so to relate ourselves to the Lord that He may accomplish His work through us.
Besides my wife, Brother H. C. Tarr is with me, caring for the tent, and helping generally, which help we appreciate much.
The church-members are deeply interested in the meetings, and though they are so scattered that few can attend regularly, yet they are inviting their friends, and have been giving out the programs of the meetings, putting each one in a tract which the church is supplying. Thus hundreds of homes are being supplied with reading-matter. This week when we advertise the subject, “Who Changed the Sabbath?” we expect to take tracts on the Sabbath question to thousands of homes.
We desire an interest in your prayers, that the truth may prosper here. We rejoice to read the good reports of the Lord’s working, from the laborers in other fields.
E. A. MERRELL.
