WOOLEY SPRINGS.—July 15 we removed the tent from Elkmont to Wooley Springs. We began meetings Sunday morning, the nineteenth, and continued the effort at this place until Sunday night, September 13. We had beautiful weather throughout, enabling us to hold three services every Sunday, and one nearly every night. From the first, the attendance was good, some coming ten or twelve miles. We have had several invitations to hold services in surrounding districts. We are planning to follow up these openings during the fall and winter. About a score have expressed a determination to obey the Lord, and we believe a good company will be developed. Elder and Mrs. E. Van Deusen have moved from Elkmont to this place to carry on the work. Brother and Sister Ross Lindsay have taken the tent to Toney, about six miles east. Brother Hugh Jones will join them in this effort, while the writer visits some of our companies and isolated Sabbath-keepers in the State.
Our first Sabbath service at Wooley Springs after the tent was removed was held in a grove near by. There were twenty-six adults, besides children, in attendance. A sawmill near by was compelled to close down, as one of the owners and some of the employees were keeping the Sabbath.
We receive good reports from the tent efforts put forth at Gadsden, Selma, and Cullman. We give the Lord all the glory for what is being accomplished.
