I HAVE preached in Peoria Sabbaths and Sundays, and organized a Sabbath-school which numbers seventy pupils. Seven more have been added to this church, four of whom were baptized. The church now occupy their new meeting-house, which is finished, and free from debt. It is the best and nicest structure in the village.
At Cleburne the brethren are much encouraged by seeing their meeting-house once more in process of erection. Seven were received into the church, and ten were baptized.
At Terrell we have organized a church of twenty-five members, and systematic benevolence amounting to over one hundred dollars. It is gratifying to see their readiness to lay aside everything for Jesus' sake. There are very few of them but had used tobacco in some form; now all rejoice in their freedom from it. Others will yet unite with them.
We are now at Plano with the tent. Our audiences range from two to three hundred. The ministers are giving us a hearing. The people remember our temporal necessities; but we find it hard to get them to invest in books and papers, as times are hard and money scarce. R. M. KILGORE.
