High Forest, Minn.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

Last night, June 16, I closed my meetings in this place, after a stay of about four weeks. On account of continued cold and rain we could have no meetings in the tent, and hence took it down, and continued our meetings to the close in the Baptist church which was very kindly granted us without cost. The attendance was good, even large, while the weather was good; but the last two weeks it was very bad, and dark nights, so the attendance was small. Yet the Lord has turned some hearts to his truth, for which we are thankful.

Sixteen came out on the Sabbath; and I obtained eleven subscribers for the REVIEW, one for the Reformer, and one for the Instructor, and also sold $17 worth of books. Money is very scarce in Minnesota and many are much in debt. There were about thirty-five Sabbath-keepers near here before; so last Sabbath we had over fifty out who will make this their regular place of meeting on the Sabbath in the future. There are a number more for whom we hope if the interest can be followed up, which we hope to do.

We may pitch the tent within a few miles of here, though the opening is not as good as we could wish. Bro. Chas. Russell is with me, and we are looking for favorable openings. Are now on our way to camp-meeting.
