TENNESSEE

By Orlando Soule

I remained at Union Hill in all a little over three weeks. A few began keeping the Sabbath. January 26, I started for the mountains; and after a journey of nearly five days, sometimes riding and sometimes going on foot, to rest my horse, I reached the Mt. Gilead church, where warm greetings from those who love the truth refreshed me much.

Here I held nine meetings, which were well attended by the brethren and sisters. Outside attendance was small but increasing. The church here is in earnest. Seven of them formed a Tract Society, while others promise to join it soon. I left them $5.50 worth of tracts, many pages of which are already many miles away upon their mission. Best of all, Bro. P. D. Moyers is laying his plans to give himself entirely to the work as soon as possible.

Near Glade Creek, I believe there are seven holding on to the truth yet, but they are much scattered. I spoke four times to them, and obtained two subscribers for the REVIEW. Bro. Moyers will visit this company once a month for a while. I am now en route for Edgefield Junction, which will be my address. ORLANDO SOULE.
