Richland, Iowa.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

Our meetings here closed yesterday, Sunday, Sept. 19, the same as they began, in a rain storm. We spent five weeks here. I was quite unwell during the whole time. Only spoke eight times. Other things seemed to be against us; yet our labor we trust has not been altogether in vain. About twenty or twenty-five have embraced the Sabbath. They seem to be substantial, reliable persons. They are mostly in whole families—are farmers. They will have Sabbath meetings. We shall visit them again as soon as we can. I now go to Sigourney till the Camp-meeting. Bro. Butler goes home a few days. We are thankful to God that a little has been accomplished by the preaching of his truth this season. About sixty have embraced the truth, we think. We are of good courage to work on, still hoping to have the blessing of God, and win some souls for his kingdom. Pray for us. D. M. CANRIGHT.
