Mrs. l.. w. Wheatly, lives. She and
her husband gave us warm well
come.
Upon my arrival found my name
on the program of the Yavapsi
County Sunday school convention for
talk on "The Sunday School
Teachers Compensation" This con-
vention was held on the Goth and
2lst. 1t was we'll attended andsvery
helpful to Sunday school workers.
Last night preached in the Baptist
church, on "The Promises to the
Overcomer." The congregation was
large and attention good. This is
the only Baptist church within fifty
miles of Prescott. 1t is doing good
work It's pastor, Rev. K. B. Taft,
is fine fellow, and good preacher
and pastor. There are two Metho-
dist churches here, one Congrega-
tional and one Catholic, and yet
there are many here who never at
tend any of the church services.
Prescott has population of about
4,5O0 or 5000. 1t is &rrounded by
mountains from which the snow has
not disappeared since we have been
here. 1t is over $500 feet above sea
level. The support comes from min
ing interests, which are all around it.
We are pleased with the town, and
have met quite number of excellent
people.
We shall not make our home here.
The question of our location is en-
tirely unsettled.
The church at Stafford, Arizona,
where | worked several years ago,
will soon be in its new house of
worship, for which quite number
of my South Carolina friends gene
rously contributed. They lack seve-
raj hundred dollars of having enough
to finish the building, and have writ
ten me for aid. Reader, l know of
NO better place to put dollar for
home missions. This is a worthy
and needy church. They have strug-
gled hard to get the walls up, and
are now trying to get the doors and
windows in. Send me a contribu-
ton for this struggling band of Gods
co-workers.
The State papers are all welcomed
by the entire family. AS soon as l
have decided the question of my To-
cation will write you. Until then
my address will be Prescott, Arizona.
The weather here is fine. Plenty
of sunshine, but little cool.
am glad the friends of temper
ance have the decision of the Su-
Prene Court to sustain them in vot-
ing out the dispensaries, which are
Veritable dens of vice. May the
time soon come when they will all
be voted out, and the law enforced.
| bespeak for Bro. Blackburn, my
worthy successor at Seneca, warm
welcome and great success among
the noble people of Seneca. He is,
in my opinion, the right man in the
right place. Seneca is good field
for hard work, and sincerely hope
Bro. Blackburn will have the hearty
support and cooperation of every
member of the church and every
friend of the cause of righteousness.
4 never expect to find better people
than are at Seneca and Walhalla.-|
Rev. G. Wardlaw, in the Baptist
Press.
