Northern Illinois

By Wm. Covert.

We have been planning to run six tents in the Northern Illinois Conference this summer. Some of these are already in operation. One tent-meeting is to be conducted at Kewanee, another at Aledo, and four tent-meetings are to be held in the city of Chicago. One of these will be in the English language, one in the Swedish, one in the Danish, and one in the German language. Almost all our available help will be connected with these meetings. The one conducted in the English language in Chicago is the continuation of an interest

that began with the camp-meeting that was held in June. Elder Luther Warren has been in charge of this work. Already a number of persons have embraced the truth. Several are expecting baptism soon. We trust that all these interests will bear fruit, and that companies may be raised up in every place where the tents will operate this season.

Our people seem to be of good courage throughout the conference, and we trust that they will make the cause of the Lord a matter of the first consequence throughout our borders.
