Note from Bro. Cornell.

I HAVE just finished a short course of eighteen lectures at State Center, Iowa. The interest was very good, considering the circumstances. It is a new and enterprising railroad town, and the minds of the people are almost wholly absorbed in business. Toward the last the interest was good, but the only rooms in the place used for meetings were to undergo repairs, and we had to close.
The people are of the intelligent and investigative class, and they took books freely, and eight subscribed for the REVIEW. When we called a vote on the Sabbath question, over fifty voted for it, but not one hand was raised for Sunday-keeping. Several have already decided to keep the Sabbath.
We received substantial tokens of the general appreciation of our labors there, and shall remember these numerous friends, and pray that each and all may obey the truth, and be saved at last.
I now return to Tallyrand and Paris, where I expect to meet Bro. Butler, and help in finishing up the work in that section preparatory to returning once more to our home in Battle Creek. M. E. CORNELL. Milton Junction, Iowa, March 31.
