Northern Missouri and Kansas Tent Report

By L. R. Long; J. H. Rogers

Northern Mo. and Kan. Tent.

Brethren Rogers and Long, from this tent, report the following:—

A traveler from Brandon, Ohio, on his way to Colorado, in search of health, and to seek a healthy location to which to move his family, while stopping here a week on business, availed himself of the opportunity of hearing our lectures. This man came into the tent, listened with care, and as the ancient prophecies were delineated as fulfilling before his eyes, his life-long skeptical ideas began to vanish, as belief and confidence in God’s book began to break into his soul. As he gave us the farewell hand, tears coursed down his cheeks, and with deep emotion he declared to having been greatly strengthened by the lectures.

Said he, “I now enjoy that peace of mind, that heretofore I have been a stranger to. May God bless you to help others as you have me.” He furnished himself with books on the subjects he did not hear, and is now speeding on his way to the wilds of Colorado with a light heart, a strong hope, and a firm resolution, as expressed to us, to prepare for the kingdom.
