Reports from the Field.

By Robert Miller Kilgore

LIFT the voice and sound the trumpet, Watcher on the mountain height; Roll the clarion notes around thee, Shout as flees the passing night. Lift the voice in words of warning; Wake the slumbering hosts below; Cry aloud, "Behold the dawning! Rouse and gird to meet the foe!"

Denison, Texas.

OUR meetings closed May 28, with a large audience. A good interest to hear on the part of many was still manifest; but the city council required the park, where our tent was pitched, to be vacated before the first of June, so we close our meetings. While a number are keeping the Sabbath, a much larger number are deeply convicted. But here, as in all large places, the laboring classes are dependent on their daily toil for bread. To keep the Sabbath, is to them a discharge from lucrative positions. Several who are employed by the railroad companies are fully satisfied, but can see no way to obey God. Oh, for a faith that will not shrink! R. M. KILGORE.
