TEXAS TENT.

By R. M. Kilgore; L. Caldwell

Terrell, Kaufman Co., April 11.

I arrived here to-day, and shall have the tent ready for meetings to-morrow night. Terrell is a town of about two thousand inhabitants. Six denominations are already established, each having its own place of worship. This is an entirely new field for the truth. Have obtained a lot newly fenced in which to put the tent. The people seem friendly, and say that there is great need of help from a moral stand-point. May the Lord help us to do our duty.

Our address is Terrell, Kaufman Co.

TERRELL, APRIL 16.—We are able to report progress. Each evening the tent is well filled with attentive hearers, and the interest is of a settled character. The first families of the place attend, and we are assisted by them in singing. Our music is good. We use the “Sacred Hymns” of Sankey and Bliss, exclusively. We wait patiently for our new selection, for new fields.

Our tent is well seated, with backs to the seats, and is lighted with seventeen lamps and lanterns. We are invited out daily. The people receive us kindly. With the prospect before us, we hope for much good. We shall labor for it and pray for God to move upon the hearts of this dear people. Pray for us. R. M. Kilgore. L. Caldwell.
