New Orleans Mission.

By H. W. Cottrell

The idea of our leading brethren in starting this mission at the time they did, was to improve the advantage to be gained at the World's Exposition, of giving our literature a world-wide circulation. In this I think I can report that their plans have been fully met. Many persons from the Old World have received reading matter, even a prince of Poland. But it has been much more extensively circulated over the Southern States, the result of which the Judgment day will reveal.
As a result of Bible-readings, there are twenty-three rejoicing in the truth, and several others interested. May the Lord continue to bless these dear souls and the work in this city, is my prayer. The Exposition is now numbered with the things of the past; but not so with this mission. It is to be sustained, and I believe it will be, until all things earthly are no more. As we now return to Ohio, to assist in the work there, Brother G. K. Owen remains to take charge of the good cause here. May the Lord bless and sustain him.
The post-office address of the mission is No. 1270 St. Charles Street. H. W. COTTRELL.
