  • LOI 1948-8: F.W. Schwartz, Detroit, MI:

"During the last number of weeks I have been circulating in the South, attempting with the Lord's good help, to bring a little help and cheer to His people in little assemblies here and there. Am glad to say that in some of the places visited, definite progress appears to have been made within the last few years.

In Asheville, N.C., the hall has been added to, and there is a good and growing Sunday School work and Gospel effort. In New Orleans, nice contacts are being made through the Center and the work extended. In Lafayette, La., there is a little company appreciative of the Word of God and desirous of lengthening its cords.

In the Houston vicinity three weeks were spent: in the Houston vicinity three weeks were spent: in Houston itself, Manvel, Melrose and South. Melrose has a comparatively new hall and a consistent effort is being made to reach the people of the community. In South Houston a new hall is planned in the near future, with the likelihood of an encouraging start in it, following upon Gospel activity already carried on.

After touching Fort Worth, I called at Oklahoma City, and Wichita. In each of these places new meeting-places have been erected within the last few years, in Wichita quite recently. There seems to be a desire to go on in the ways of the Lord, and an appreciation of ministry given.

Here in Hutchison [sic] the Lord has helped in ministry and it is a joy to see His people going on happily for Him and with each other. But if there is progress, it is still true that 'there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed'. Workers in some of these fields are not plentiful and much prayer should be going up to God on behalf of those who labor in them, that they may be sustained and encouraged."
