Letter from Rev. Adam White to Rev. A. M. Poindexter, August 19, 1859

Letter of Rev. Adam White MARSHALL, Aug. 19, 1859 REV. A. M. POINDEXTER, Dear Brother — I received yours bearing date April 27. You informed me that brother Yates was appointed to fill the place of brother Day, which we were truly happy to hear. The books that were sent out for this school have safely arrived out here. Our day school is constantly kept up, and is progressing. We have also a regular Sabbath school in Marshall. I am happy to inform you that we have had, in Marshall, quite a revival. During this time of revival we had baptized and added to the church nine. We are now striving to raise means to rear up a new house of worship. By the help of God I strive to preach the Gospel from two to three times every Sabbath when my health permits. I feel glad to say that the cause of God is progressing here. The servants of Christ are striving to spread the Gospel abroad. Dear brother, the servants of Christ assemble themselves together regularly every Sabbath morning for prayer-meeting. Prayer-meeting Monday evening and Tuesday night. I myself, also, have preached the word in King Tom Town last year, as well as in Marshall. I hope that these few lines may find all the brethren of the Board well. We are truly glad that the cause of missions is getting more and more interesting. Believe me to be truly yours, ADAM WHITE HOME AND FOREIGN JOURNAL January 1860 p. 28
