MISSOURI

By J. H. Rogers

Morton, Ray Co., Dec. 9.

Commenced a course of lectures in this place the evening of the 4th inst. Have had fair congregations, and there has been some interest. This is in Bro. Moore’s neighborhood, and he has been alone here for some years.

I find some reading our papers and tracts. This is good; it helps wonderfully in opening the way for preaching the message. I wish all our T. and M. members could realize this. They would more than double their efforts in judiciously circulating our reading matter, and our preachers could accomplish much more in a given time. They would not have to waste so much precious time in prying off the scales of ignorance, prejudice, and error, which have so long encrusted their minds. Then—

“Who will help us to garner in The sheaves of good from the fields of sin?”

Dear friends, when you pray for the cause in Missouri remember me.

J. H. ROGERS.
