MISSOURI

By H. Wren

Queen City.—The work of the Lord is still going forward at the Roberts’ school-house, near Queen City, Schuyler Co. There is now a class of nearly twenty, who have meeting every Sabbath. They take part in meeting as a general thing. A Sabbath-school is in process of formation, and will soon be fully organized. On Sabbath last, thirteen signed the teetotal pledge, and all but two of them included pork. There is but one or two in the class who use pork or tobacco, and but two or three who use tea or coffee, and some of them are situated so they never get to meeting. I have no doubt but that nearly all of those who have not yet signed will do so. One old man who had used tobacco for fifty years, quit using it even before I preached on the subject. The Lord’s hand seems to be in the work, and we hope to have the best church in Missouri. H. WREN.
