DECATUR.—About five months ago we arrived in this city to hold a tent effort. From the beginning, it seemed as if everything was against us, yet we did not allow appearances to discourage us. When we came here, we found a minister and his wife (Holiness) holding meetings under a large tree; they continued their services about three weeks. They kept the Sabbath from twelve o'clock midnight. Then came a company of sixteen (also Holiness) with a good-sized tent, and pitched four blocks from us. They drew a crowd every night, while our company was small. Nevertheless we thank God for nine souls won to the truth; these are developing nicely.

Our Sabbath-school is growing rapidly; eighteen were present last Sabbath, December 4. We are holding services at the home of one of the sisters. As the room is too small for our numbers, we shall be obliged to make a change soon. A neat building in this city would give influence to the work.
