ALBANY, IOWA.

By J. D. Pegg

We closed our meetings in this place, March 21, with a crowded house, some being unable to gain admittance. As the result of our effort here, sixteen have signed the covenant, and three or four others have commenced to keep the Sabbath. One favorable feature is, that there is not a broken family in this company; every husband has his wife with him in the truth. Three were keeping the Sabbath when we came here, and now there is a company of over twenty, all but two of whom are heads of families.
We organized a Sabbath-school last Sabbath. There will be about twenty children of Sabbath-keeping parents, and some others we think will join the school, making over forty scholars.
A Freewill Baptist and his wife are among the number who have accepted the truth. He has preached for thirty years, and will make a good leader. He has been addicted to the use of tobacco, but says that, by the grace of God, it shall go, with other errors. J. D. Pegg.
