Report from Monroe, Iowa.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

I WAS with Bro. Butler at Knoxville some four weeks ago. Then he and Bro. Morrison came with me to Monroe. We had an excellent meeting and the effect was good. The result of our debate with Mr. Johnson was far better than we had supposed at first. Several more have embraced the truth and many have become our friends who were not before.

We have organized s. B. here, amounting to $268 per year. By urgent request I have begun lectures two and a half miles from town in a school-house. The interest has been the very best so far. The church members in Monroe have sent to Illinois and obtained a man to come and expose Adventism. He begins this week to “expose and refute Advent errors.” I shall have to hear him, which will close my lectures for the present.

I have just finished building my house, and have moved into it. Have had to work very hard to do it; laboring during the day with my hands and walking to and from my lectures at evening. But we now have a home, for which we are thankful to God. This will now be my permanent address.
