Southern Illinois

By S. E. Wight

I AM glad to report through the columns of the REVIEW that the laborers in this conference are of good courage. There are three tents in the field at the present time, and each company reports an excellent interest.

At Flora, two ministers are studying the truth. One of these, a man of prominence in the place, has advised his people to attend the meetings held in the tent. One person has already begun the observance of the Sabbath, and the prospects are bright for others.

During the month of September I baptized seven,—four at Alton, two at Jacksonville, and one in Springfield.

As a result of the meetings conducted in the city of Springfield by Brother L. W. Browne, seven have been baptized and united with the Second Springfield church. Several others have accepted the Sabbath truth, and are expected to join the church soon.

The prospects all through the conference were never better for the speedy triumph of the message than now. S. E. WIGHT.
