The Cause in Texas.

By James White

The General Conference advised that Elder R. M. Kilgore, of Iowa, take Texas as a field of labor. To this suggestion Elder Kilgore has responded favorably. His choice is Iowa; but now, as well as when an officer in the Northern army, will go wherever ordered. This may be well on his part; but we are brethren. We simply advise that if, after much prayer, it seemeth good to the Holy Ghost and to our beloved Bro. Kilgore to take his good family to the new State of Texas, and there labor to build up a Conference, he will have the cheerful co-operation of the General Conference, so far as that body can advise and help.

This matter has been delayed for the final decision of the presidential election. That matter now decided, there are probably four years at least before us favorable to the extension of the cause in the South. And we know of no man among us better adapted to work in Texas than Elder R. M. Kilgore.
