REYNOLDS, GA.

By C. O. Taylor

I have visited Houston and Bibb counties of late. I spoke in the court-house in Perry five times. Sometimes the audiences were quite large, and at all times they were very attentive. Bro. Killen has labored faithfully to call the attention of the people to the truth. His labor had created some interest to hear further. They wanted me to speak on the Sabbath at my first meeting. There was a large congregation, composed of all classes. They wanted to hear on the end of the wicked. There was the very best of attention while I read the Bible. Some were more than commonly anxious to catch every word and get every idea. One gentleman expressed himself much interested, and pleased with the manner of the preaching in appealing to the Scriptures. The freedmen improved the opportunity of attending, as the meeting was in the court-house. They were much interested, and urged me to send them a minister of their own color to speak the truth to them. I know of no one. Should any go there, they will have a good hearing. Bro. Killen is collector, assessor, and school commissioner. He is visiting every family in the county. He has a word to say to every one on the truths applicable to this time. He is giving reading matter on present truth to all who will read. Thus the way is opened to speak the truth to the people of that county, but where are the speakers?
In Bibb county I spoke at a place four miles from Macon, where Bro. Wimbish has had meetings the past year. The interest was good on the part of the few who attended, some coming two and three miles. They wanted to hear on the Sabbath. I spoke seven times, and left a good interest. One man said he should keep the Sabbath; others were convinced. Bro. Wimbish will continue the meetings. He is growing fast in all the truth, and is anxious to do for the Master. On my way home I staid here one night, and spoke in a private house. The room was full.
