MISSISSIPPI

By R. S. Owen; H. W. Pierce

Kilgore.—We came to this place and began tent-meetings, August 14. Brother M. W. Adams gave us his front yard in which to pitch our tent. He and his family have been keeping the Sabbath alone, for ten years. The seeds of truth, which he has been sowing, now seem to be springing up. It has been very gratifying to us to witness the attendance, and the deep interest manifested in the truths presented. Persons have come from the surrounding country, six and ten miles away. We have held fifty-five meetings, some of them in a union church four miles distant. For about two weeks, we held two meetings each day.

We find a very hospitable and genial class of people here, and never were we more kindly entertained. We have received $14.85 in contributions. If this people will give the Saviour and his message as warm a welcome as they have us, we shall rejoice to all eternity that we ever came to this place. We have learned of nine adults who have begun the observance of the Sabbath, besides several children. Others are deeply convicted. R. S. OWEN, H. W. PIERCE.
