TEXAS TENT, NO. 1.

Denison.—By an action of the city council we were required to vacate the park before the first of June. We remained just as long as we could. Our meetings closed Wednesday night, May 28, with a large audience. A good interest to hear on the part of many was still manifest. While a number are keeping the Sabbath, a much larger number are deeply convicted. But here, as in all large places, the laboring classes are dependent on their daily toil for their bread. To keep the Sabbath, is to them a discharge from lucrative positions, and a case of starvation. Several who are employed by the railroad companies are fully satisfied, but can see no way to obey God. Oh, for a faith that will not shrink!

I have obtained eleven full paying subscribers for the REVIEW, two for Good Health, and two for the weekly Instructor. I remain here over the Sabbath to visit, and to assist in their meetings. Next week we move to Savoy, Fannin Co., twenty miles southeast of Denison, which will be our address.
