Brother Dart and the writer had the
privilege of visiting the newly organ-
ized church at Ringwood, Sabbath and
Sunday, March 11 and 12.
We had meetings all Sabbath after-
noon, Sabbath night, Sunday all day
and Sunday night. During the day
time we saudied various phases of
: ‘missionary activities and at the two
evening meetings Brother Dart gave
us two good sermons on “Health” all
scemed to have enjoyed what he said.
The fact that there is a fine class
: of young people at that place and
:. that the older church members seem
to be proud of their young people as
well as Interested in missionary work
gives - promise that the Ringwood
co chureh will grow into a strong church,

ELDER McDONALD HOLDS MEET-
INGS TWELVE MILES WEST’
OF WALTERS, OKLAHOMA
My husband and I have always been
isolated having accepted the truth
several years ago.
We have longed and prayed to be
of some service to our Master and to
be able to sow the words of truth in
our immediate neighborhood. After
years of scattering tracts and waiting
the opportunity came.
Having no religious services of any
kind in this community the people de-
cided, in May 1921, to organize a union
Sunday school. )
Some of the leaders ih the neighbor-
hood asked if I would teach the Bible
class, should they organize. Of course
I told them.I would. The Sunday
school was organized. However no
literature was ordered for the Bible
which gave me a chance to
begin Bible readings on.the doctrinal
points of our faith, at once.
The Sunday school was well attend-
- ed for a while, however, late in the
* fall all had dropped out except the
Bible class, and it was finally decided
to quit the Sunday school. I managed
to keep up the interest wih Bible read-
ings from house to house.
In the meantime I: wrote Elder
McDonald, explaining the situation. I
told him I felt that I had done all I
could and asked him to come and hold
meetings. He gave me a favorable
reply promptly, arriving, January 27.
He held meetings every night for four
weeks with a splendid attendance.
Sickness and weather conditions
hindered somewhat the last few nights
however we have much to be thank-
ful for.
Fourteen expressed a desire and a
determination to obey the command-
ments of God.
A Sabbath school was organized with
an enrollment of twenty-one,
Elder McDonald labored untiring-
ly preaching with power and to the’
point. If the Lord is willng he will
return in April or May to finish the
work and baptize all who wish it. God
has greatly blessed us with answers
to our prayers.
Pray for these dear people who have
expressed a desire to obey the voice
of God, that they may be well estab-
lished in the faith.
Mrs. J. K. MeGAVOCK.
