R. M. KILGORE

By R. M. Kilgore

Iowa.

Since I returned to Hamilton County I have labored incessantly. No great results have crowned my efforts. At the close of the meetings at Bach Grove, three more commenced to keep the Sabbath. I shall try to visit them again, and strengthen the things that remain.

On New Year's evening, I began meetings in Bro. Riley's neighborhood. Closed them on last Sunday evening. This meeting has convinced me that labor bestowed in fields so near to the tent operations, where men and women have heard just enough to confuse their minds, accompanied with reports from those who were prejudiced, and have given their decision as to what they will believe and what they will not believe, will not result in as great good as in those fields more remote.

Another family of three have embraced and commenced keeping the Sabbath since this meeting.

I am now visiting from house to house, and shall hold meetings with the church here until the Lord opens the way for me to go elsewhere. I am ready to go, and my prayer is, “Lord send me.” I shall be glad to hear of fields where good may be accomplished. I have no opening before me here at present. I do not want to be idle while there is so much to do. May God direct.
