Western Iowa.

By J. Bartlett

We pitched the tent in Woodbine, Harrison Co., June 15, but on account of the almost incessant rains, we were able to hold only a few meetings, as the rising of the river, so the people could not cross, cut off the most interested part of our congregation. We had one storm so violent that it blew down several buildings in the village. Our tent, however, was injured but little. The prejudices of the people had been excited to such a degree by the minister that it was almost impossible to gain access to them; so we thought it best to move. Three, however, took a stand on the Sabbath.

The tent is now pitched in Dunlap, twelve miles north of Woodbine. We have given eight lectures with increasing interest. We hope for the blessing of God on our labors. Our address, for the present, is Dunlap, Harrison Co., Iowa.
