TEXAS

By R. M. Kilgore

Peoria, March 18.

Since our last report, we have organized at Peoria a tract society consisting of eighteen members, quite a number of others will yet unite with us in this work. Our little room is crowded every Sabbath, and will soon be too small to accommodate even the believers. It is very manifest that there is a growth in grace and an increase in the knowledge of the truth on the part of the brethren here.

My father has just returned from Cleburne, and reports the same concerning the church there. He has just completed the foundation for the meeting-house which the church there is now building. This, with the one completed here, built of cut stone, makes two foundations for meeting-houses which he has constructed since he came to Texas.

On account of extremely muddy roads, we have not been able to get all the lumber for the meeting-house here. To-morrow we start for Dallas, with teams, to bring the remainder.

I now expect to be out with the tent by the first of April. R. M. KILGORE.
