Brushy Knob and Turner's Point, Texas.
By Robert Miller Kilgore
Our second arbor meeting at Brushy Knob was successful beyond our expectations. A larger number of our own people were present, and a much larger number from without. Twelve tents were pitched. My brother and Bro. Daniels were present, and assisted in preaching. At our Sabbath morning prayer-meeting, one hundred Sabbath keepers were counted. Denison, Plano, and Dallas were represented. Bro. Jenson came with three others from Bosque Co. Besides a few scattered brethren, the churches of Peoria and Cleburne, were nearly all present. The preaching was both doctrinal and practical. The social meetings were spiritual and excellent. Many were convicted, several were converted, and nineteen were baptized. Such was the interest that it was thought best to continue another week, which we did. We sold some books, and obtained ten subscribers for the Review. Closed the meeting Sunday night, Sept. 8. Friday, Sept. 13, we met again with the friends at Turner's Point, under the arbor. About twenty are holding on, and growing strong in the truth, amid bitter opposition. Organized a Sabbath-school, and appointed a leader for the class. R. M. KILGORE.
