ALONZO T. JONES is engaged in preaching the gospel in the West at present, where he has now been for the past five weeks. From a recent letter we copy the following concerning his work:—MEDM January 22, 1908, page 76.1

“December 1-10 I preached every night and on Sundays in the “People’s Church” in Omaha, on “The Spirit of the Times and the Spirit for the Times, “The Church of Christ,” and Christian Health and how to have it.” The interest was excellent, and the truth was gladly received—the health principles no less than the others. Some dropped their tea and coffee drinking immediately and have not touched any since, and meat is meeting the same fate; and they propose to eat only that which is good, and glorify God in their bodies as well as in their spirits. Wednesday night, December 11, I preach in the M. C. Church at Auburn, Nebraska. Friday night to Tuesday night, December 13-17, I preached each night on Sunday in “Full Gospel” Hall, Sioux City, Ia. This hall being devoted to the promulgation of the full gospel, gave a good opportunity to present the full gospel indeed—the gospel for the whole man, body, soul and spirit. And though this was a fuller gospel than some of them had thought of, yet they accepted it gladly and propose to enjoy it for what it is.MEDM January 22, 1908, page 76.2

From Sioux City I returned to Omaha, and spent the time of the holidays here, preaching in “The People’s Church,” in the First M. E. Church, South Omaha, and in Trinity M. E. Church, Omaha. In every place both ministers and people were glad and thankful for the truths preached; and heartily expressed themselves so.MEDM January 22, 1908, page 77.1

I now to on further West to cheer and bless other people with the good word and message of the Lord.MEDM January 22, 1908, page 77.2
