Northern Iowa Tent.

By C. A. Washburn

At the time of our last report, the tent was pitched in Rockford. We continued meetings there about two weeks, but then decided there was not sufficient interest to remain longer. The people used their best argument against the truth, viz., the “stay-away” argument. At the close of this meeting, Bro. M. Miller was called home by sickness in his family.
We next pitched the tent in Frankville, Winneshiek Co., and commenced meetings Aug. 28, and continued with good interest till Sept. 20. The weather then being too cold for meetings in the tent, we occupied the school-house in closing our meetings. Many were willing to admit that we have the truth, though but two voted to obey it.
Bro. E. W. Farnsworth was with me till the close of this meeting. He is now engaged in school teaching for the winter. At this place books and tracts were taken quite freely, and we obtained a few names for the REVIEW. C. A. WASHBURN.
