A Call for Evangelists
By E. B. Saunders
BRO. SMITH: The Lord is bringing all the honest ones into the fold of Christ in this place. Some few are wavering, not knowing which to choose, life or death. The devil rages, often threatening, but he can do nothing when God is with us. Excitement is at its height here in this section of the West. Many are inquiring the way of salvation. Bro. Hull is here doing what he can, but that is little in comparison to the work to be done. We feel that we must have more help; more evangelists are needed. If we could get a tent for this part of Iowa great good might be done. Indeed, we feel that we must have one sent here. There are brethren here who will pay the necessary expense of transporting a tent from the East here, and also to bear the expense, if any, while here I am ready to spend one half the time, if not all, as a laboring hand with the tent. Bro. Caldwell is ready to go along when I cannot. Now brethren, do send the required help and God will bless your efforts. Yours in hope of the kingdom.
