TEXAS TENT.

By B. M. Kilgore

Denison, May 2.—I am still here with the tent. Since the first lectures by Bro. and Sr. White, the interest has been small, and upon the departure for Colorado of both them and Bro. Corliss, I anticipated a much greater reduction in numbers; but by the timely assistance of a small opponent in a public manner the attendance is augmenting. Our congregations are averaging about one hundred. Bro. T. T. Stevenson, of Terrell, is with me as tent master.
A letter from my wife brings the sad intelligence that our good meeting-house at Peoria has been fired by an incendiary, and destroyed. No insurance; a total loss. The brethren now talk of building a better one. This is the right spirit,—better than to sink down in discouragement. Many offer to help with their means. I hope the brethren will take advantage of the sympathy expressed by all around them.
