TEXAS TENT.

By R. M. Kilgore

We are still at Cleburne. Have now held three Sabbath meetings. At the last, sixty-five persons were present. Several who have just begun to keep the Sabbath took part with us. The Spirit of the Lord was present. Many were affected to tears. About thirty are now keeping the Sabbath and turning away from their sins, and some are seeking the Lord for the first time in their lives.
The opposition against us is strong, and every effort is made to scare the people away from the tent. The best arguments they have are brought to bear against us, such as, “He is a Yankee;” “he has come here to preach nigger equality;” etc. While some of the ministers are preaching such tidings, we are preaching an entirely different gospel. Let God be thanked.
