Report of Meetings.

By C. H. Bliss; W. E. Bliss

We left home July 21, to commence meetings in North Prairie, Bureau Co., Ill. We continued meetings until Sept. 4, speaking in all, 39 times.

The interest was very good the first two weeks, while we held our meetings in the M. E. church. When we began to present the Sabbath question, the house was closed against us. We were then compelled to move the meetings one and one-half miles to a school-house; and haying coming on, the interest gradually decreased, until but few came to hear.

Some confess that we have the truth, but none as yet seem willing to obey. We have spoken in weakness, yet we trust some good will result from our labors. Our daily prayer is,

“Nearer my God to thee, Nearer to thee, E’en though it be a cross That raiseth me.”

C. H. AND W. E. BLISS.
