TEXAS TENT.

By R. M. Kilgore

TERRELL, KAUFMAN CO.—Another very encouraging week has passed. The good work moves on, and the interest is deepening and widening. We are now in the midst of the Sabbath question. The advent, and prophecies relating to it, were heartily indorsed by many. The Lord has given freedom in speaking his truth. We have already obtained eleven subscribers for our periodicals. We have sold a few books. Times are hard. The people are friendly and hospitable. Invitations are extended to us every day to visit at their homes.

We are of good courage in the Lord.

DALLAS.—Friday, April 20, I went to Dallas to attend the State quarterly meeting. Brethren were present from Cleburne and Grand Prairie. Four separate meetings were held on the Sabbath. While we spoke of “present truth” and present duties, and the adaptation of this glorious message to the present time, we were blessed and the brethren encouraged.

Four took their stand with us, and will identify themselves fully with this message. They are heads of families. The ranks of the Dallas company have been decimated by removals; but if the brethren who remain will patiently labor on and pray on, the seed will soon spring up, fruit will be reaped, and their ranks will be filled up. Some of wealth and influence are deeply interested through reading the SIGNS. If the church at Dallas will press together in love, and strive to get a burden for souls, and labor for the salvation of others, the differences and hindrances with which it has been beset will sink into insignificance. We hope for better days for the church there. R. M. KILGORE.
