DALLAS, TEXAS.

By R. M. Kilgore

The quarterly meeting is just closed. Our large 50x70 tent came just in time to be used at this meeting. The outside attendance was small, and but few of our brethren from a distance were present. During the three days, ten meetings were held. We all enjoyed the blessing of God. The church was greatly encouraged and revived. Union and harmony prevailed.

Systematic Benevolence was presented and re-organized, the pledge amounting to $435.00, and the church voted unanimously the one-third for T. and M. work. We presented the claims of the “Texas Mission” to the brethren with a pledge. The total, including that which has already been paid and pledged by those present, amounts to $435.87.

Fifteen were added to the church, and nine were baptized. The meeting closed with the celebration of the ordinances. The Lord came very near to us by his Spirit. The brethren look forward with fond anticipation to the proposed camp-meeting, when they shall see and hear Bro. and Sr. White.

Monday P. M. the tent was started for Cleburne, Johnson Co., fifty miles southwest from Dallas, where we expect to begin a course of lectures July 6. This will be our address for the present.
