Smithland, Iowa.

By J. Bartlett

I have been lecturing in Smithland almost four weeks. Twenty-four are keeping the Sabbath, and the Lord is still working by his sweet Spirit. The interest is on the increase, and I hope many more will embrace the truth.

Spiritualism had a great influence here, but it is dying out. The Lord has been good to me, and I have had liberty in presenting the truth. Some of the most prominent members of the M. E. church are keeping the Sabbath. I gladly welcomed Bro. Bryson to my assistance, as I had spoken every night and on Sunday for three weeks. Pray for me.

J. Bartlett.
