The Cause Gaining in Missouri
Bro. O. K. Davis writes from Victoria, Daviess Co., Missouri: ‐The cause of God is gaining here every day. Many honest ones are investigating the truth, and some are walking out upon it. The church here is in a prosperous condition. Bro. Hull was with us last October and gave a course of lectures, and baptized fourteen souls. I was among the number. Thank the Lord! My desire is to go with the people of God, and reach the place that Jesus has gone to prepare for us. While men are preparing carnal weapons to fight over the kingdoms of this world, let us take the weapons that God has given us, and fight for the kingdom that is in heaven. Amid all the confusion and trouble people have about this world, it shall be destroyed, and the kingdom will be left to the people of God at last. Remember the words of the blessed Saviour on the mount, ‘Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.’ We see from the signs of the times that the period is not far distant when the saints shall possess the kingdom.”
