J. BARTLETT

By J. Bartlett

Ogden, Boone Co., June 17.

The tent-meetings are still in progress in this place. The interest is good considering all the circumstances. As soon as our tent was up, the alarm was taken, and an invitation was sent to Des Moines City for some men to come and lecture on temperance. They had their bills out to commence the same night that we did. They came and continued night after night.

Last night, and the night before, the tent was full, notwithstanding there were meetings in all the churches. They have meetings every night this week, but I do not think they can keep the people away from the tent. The people are very kind to us. They invite us home with them, so our expenses are but a trifle. The Lord is at work with some, and we hope to see a good work done here. We feel the need of the prayers of the people of God.
