Wakeman.—We have a sixty-foot tent pitched in the country five miles from Wakeman, and meetings began on the evening of May 29. We have a good hearing, and the interest is growing. H. A. ST. JOHN. A. M. MANN.
Bedford.—June 2–6 I spent in looking up scattered Sabbath-keepers. In Chester I found three or four keeping the Sabbath. We shall make an effort to add to their number. I obtained two subscribers for the REVIEW. Friday evening, June 6, Eld. Early, Baptist, spoke against us on the Sabbath question. The two following evenings I spoke to good audiences in the factory. After the review of his arguments, the anti-Sabbatarians, not being satisfied with his effort, secured a Disciple preacher, who is to try his hand at the same next Friday evening, in the factory. We expect to pitch the tent near here this week. We earnestly desire the prayers of God's people, that Heaven's blessing may attend us. R. A. UNDERWOOD.
Dunkirk, June 9.—The tent was pitched here May 30. Meetings commenced with a good prospect, but the second day the weather became rainy and cold, and it continued so until during the last two days of the meeting, when the people again began to attend. Last night nearly three hundred and fifty came out to hear on the change of the Sabbath. Many who never attended our meetings before expressed a desire that the tent might remain longer; but as it was not expected that the interest would revive, arrangements had previously kept the Sabbath. The company of Sabbath-keepers at Dunkirk are growing in the truth. Five were baptized on first-day, and six united with the church, having previously kept the Sabbath. The Lord willing, I shall endeavor to visit all the churches under my care, with the tent this summer. G. G. RUPERT.
Leesburg, Highland Co., June 2.—Since May 24 I have been holding meetings at this place in the Universalist house, which the brethren have the free use of. The little company of Sabbath-keepers here was raised up by Eld. Waggoner about a year and a half ago. The outside attendance is small. Twice before this a good interest has been aroused, and then allowed to go down just as the people were making their decisions. Considering the circumstances the brethren are doing quite well; but some are rather backward on health reform. We pitch our tent immediately. E. H. GATES.
