I am engaged in a revival here with R. A. Owens and G. H. Miller.

The meeting has been in "progress three weeks. God has wonderfully poured out His Spirit on us, and a number of seekers have been to the altar. Others are deeply convicted, and we are expecting several more to get saved. One has received the experience of sanctification. The meeting will likely continue until Christmas.

Kimbrough and Banner Readers: Greeting in Jesus' dear name. I can report victory over the enemy this Sabbath day. Our meeting closed Friday flight with victory. Bro. Hackett certainly did his and the Lord wonderfully Tised him' in putting out the truth.

We had good crowrds and good attention. All, sinners and saints, enjoyed the truth. As for myself, I am trying to measure up to the Word. Bro. 'Beaver gave, out the Word and did his best, ntil sickness called him home.

That left the burden on Bro. "Hackett, but he certainly gave out the truth in the power of the Holy Ghost. I am thankingGod for sending th'em this vay. Bro. and Sister Herrell were with last Saturday and Sister 'Terrell is our pastor.

11, 1921 Dear Bro. Kimbrough and Saints of God everywhere: God bless you all, amen. At this writing I am at Rich Hill, Mo. Well, I still have the victory. Bless.

God forever! I was very much disappointed yesterday in not getting a train out of Rich Hill to Butler. I would like to have been with the saints over the Lord's day, but the Lord knows best. Bless His name! Our train never left here until almost 9 o'clock, and left there at something like 3 o'clock Monday morning. So, as I had to wait here over the Sabbath, I looked around as best I could. I found the work here about gone, and found some that had once been with us as a people had gone with the Adyentists.

The Lord pity and help them. Well, God helped me to pray and sing some anyway. Bless God! I met Bro. E. S.

Parmele on the same train with me, going to Poplar Grove to meeting. God bless him as he seems like a father to me. Well, saints, look up for the Lord is coming soon, for some of us, anyway. Time is short. Let us do our best for Him.

At this writing I am at the hotel in Rich Hill, Mo, I will go to Eldorado Springs, Mo, and will try to see some of the saints while there. Your brother in Christ, sanctified wholly. W. Hizar. Birmingham, Dec.

16, 1921 Dear Bro. Kimbrough and Banner Readers Greeting in Jesus' precious name, ks winter was coming on, and I couldn't get out in meeting much, 1 came here to visit, and to my delight, have'had-unexpected opportunities of visiting homes of both the saved poor and also wealthy people, land leading God's Word and praying with them, also of preaching in both city and county jails. God did so help in all. Last Monday forenoon, eleven fine-looking young men all under twenty-one years of age, except threeo they told us, were in there awaiting trial for the murder of another young man, also some nice young men who were visiting them, came up for prayer, with tears in their eyes In the city jail there were about 35 colored men, and several wept and asked for prayers. As we left the building the warden handed us a note from one of them, confessing that he was guilty.

The Scripture used was, "If we confess our sins, God will have mercy," etc. So few people know anything about experimental salvation, but God is using every means He can to get them the light. Let's be faithful in what He tells us to do, and not seek for other things, for it is as necessary that the little things be done as that that may appear to be big. I gd from here to Anniston, for a few? weeks. A young couple there who feel the call of God upon them to do and hospital work invite me to come and help them.

W.H.Matthews. Dec. 13, 1921 Bro. R. L.

Kimbrough and Bahner Readers: I will report the meeting we had at Cherry Grove at Downing, Mo. We had a good day and the outlook is good for greater work. The church is pleased with the move toward unity; and, if the Lord is willing, I will go to Coffy, the fourth Sunday. We pray God's blessings upon you and family for the great work that God has assigned for you to do. You have our full cooperation as much as lies in our power.

A. Dobbs and wife. Iola, Kan. Dear Bro. Kimbrough and Banner Readers Greeting in Jesus' name.

The meeting closed at Delaware, Friday night, with the tide up. We had a good meeting, several were saved, and the church took on new courage. Bro. Beaver had to go home, but the good Lord gave us victory anyway. We stayed at Grandma Booher's home, and she was a mother in Israel to us.

May the saints remember the church at Delaware. Oh, how I like this gpod, clean way. This leaves me with victory in my soul. T. Hackett.

Mexico, Dear Bro. Kimbrough and Banner Readers Greeting. We are now beginning the sixth week of the meeting here. The break came, at the end of the fourth week. We had a few seekers and finders before then, but since the fourth Sunday, we have hed seekers at nearly every service.

To God be all the glory. Never was in a battle where the devil fought harder, but Father encourages our hearts, and we are pushing ahead. Pray for us as we expect to stay on the job until the battle is won. J. G.
