PEORIA, TEXAS.

ANOTHER very encouraging week has passed. Our congregations have increased in numbers and interest. Eld. McDonnell, of Hillsboro, spoke in the tent Sunday at 3 P. M. He displayed his talent in throwing Greek dust on the term “Sabbatone.” I occupied about a half hour in reply.
Though I have been speaking on the Sabbath question less than a week, several have expressed their determination to obey. We have our first Sabbath meeting Oct 6. Some of the first families of the community are deeply interested, and are yielding to the influence of the truth.
Calls for labor are coming in, which it is impossible for me to fill. The prospect here is very encouraging. Pray for us.
R. M. Kilgore.
