Tennessee.

THE cause of present truth in this State is slowly spreading, and I very frequently hear from persons who fully acknowledge its claims, but are not altogether persuaded to live up to them. The tracts and papers circulated from our little band have waked up many sleeping Christians, but nearly all seem afraid to launch out without a preacher and meetings.
At this place (near Carter's Creek), the Christian minister has offered us his church to hold meetings in, and several have expressed a wish to hear a preacher and investigate the subject. This portion of the country is thickly settled, and I have no doubt but a course of lectures here would result in much good.
The little flock organized at Edgefield Junction, though somewhat scattered, are all holding on and battling with error as well as they know how.
Our prayer is that God in his mercy will soon send us a preacher for this State.
R. K. McCUNE.
