Tent Meetings in Nevada County Close for Winter
By R. M. Kilgore
On Monday, the 18th of October, we took down the tent and packed it for the winter. It had stood in Nevada over eight weeks, and while there we gave about seventy discourses. Though it has been extremely cold for the past three weeks, the interest seemed to demand that the tent should stand; for we had no other place to hold our meetings. As a result of this labor, about thirty have taken their stand with us, and have found the Lord more precious, and their hope brightened, through the light they have received. We have now secured possession of a vacated school-house. It contains two stories, each large enough to afford ample room for our future meetings, and which will be furnished in the future for a permanent meeting-house. This has been accomplished under peculiar circumstances, and through the kindness and liberality of Bro. McCoy. A leader has been appointed here, and regular prayer and Sabbath meetings are established. Just four months have elapsed since we pitched the tent in this county. At that time, we did not know of one who kept the commandments of God under the third angel’s message. There are now about fifty who are making efforts to prepare for the Judgment and the soon-coming Saviour, by embracing Christ through faith and by keeping the commandments. We have obtained over forty trial subscribers for the VOICE OF TRUTH; five full-paying subscribers for the Advent Tidende, and two for the Reformer. To God be all the praise for his goodness. We shall return to this county to labor for the winter. R. M. KILGORE.
