ROMSEY, ENGLAND.

By John Norton Loughborough

OUR tent-meeting at Romsey commenced, as appointed, June 20, with a large attendance. We have now had ten discourses in the tent. An interest is manifested in the word spoken. We hope to see much good result.

Bro. Andrews arrived from Bale, June 26, much wearied with his journey. He has been able to be with us in three meetings in the tent. On last first-day he spoke once. July 4 we were agreeably surprised at the tent with the presence of Bro. W. M. Jones, from London, and Bro. Carpenter, formerly Seventh-day Baptist missionary to China. They, with their wives, came down from London to spend two days with us. Bro. Veysey and wife from Taunton have also been with us a few days, but returned home yesterday to prepare for their next term of school. While conducting this tent-meeting we are also keeping up our meetings at Ravenswood. The presence and additional testimony of these ministers was a source of encouragement to the "little flock."

The cause is still advancing at Southampton, as well as in all the departments of our missionary work. The truth is getting hold of hearts and minds. Brethren, still pray for us, that God may water the seed sown, that in due time an abundant harvest may appear.
