_Indiana_

By E. C. Swartz; J. C. Harris

WEST MIDDLETON.— We began meetings at this place in the tent, June 14. The cold, wet weather made it very unpleasant for tent meetings for a time, but some came and seemed interested. We are hopeful that they will obey the truth. This is a small place, surrounded by a good farming country, and all are quite busy in wheat harvest. Crops are all looking well. The people are very friendly. We are having good visits with some of them.

There are lovely groves here where we can go and seek the Lord, and he comes very near us. O for more power from above, that we may present the truth for this time in a manner that will take hold of hard hearts! We are apt to censure the people, and say they are prejudiced; but the enemy has a strong hold on the human mind, which nothing but the power of the gospel can break. Let us pray for the sweet influence of God's love to come into all our hearts. That will do more to break the power of Satan and remove prejudice than all the arguments we can present.
